2.3.1 RF Connector
The RF connector is the primary RF interface to the antenna. The RF
connector is a BNC connector or a mini-UHF connector with an
impedance of 50Ω.
Important The maximum RF input level is +27dBm. Higher levels
may damage the radio.
2.3.2 Power Connector
The power connector is the interface for the primary 13.8V power source
and the external speaker. The primary power source can be the vehicle
battery or a mains-fed DC power supply. There are different power
connectors for the >25W and 25W radios.
Important The speaker load configuration is balanced; the speaker
output lines must not be connected to ground. Connecting
a speaker output line to ground will cause audio power
amplifier shutdown
