➤ To connect a dipole or long-wire antenna:
1. Turn the transceiver off.
2. Open the harness envelope, to reach the coaxial cable interconnecting the RF connectors
of the transceiver and the ATU.
3. Disconnect the cable from the transceiver RF connector.
4. Connect the coaxial feed of the antenna directly to the transceiver RF connector.
