VX-2R OPERATING MANUAL 5
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The supplied antenna provides good results over the entire frequency range
of the transceiver. However, for enhanced base station medium-wave and
shortwave reception, you may wish to connect an external (outside) an-
tenna, as the supplied antenna is very small and cannot be expected to
provide high performance at these frequencies.
To install the supplied antenna, hold the bottom end of the antenna, then
screw it onto the mating connector on the transceiver until it is snug. Do
not over-tighten by use of extreme force.
Notes:
¦ Never transmit without having an antenna connected.
¦ When installing the supplied antenna, never hold the upper part of the
antenna while screwing it onto the mating connector on the transceiver.
¦ If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that the SWR
presented to the transceiver is 1.5:1 or lower, to avoid excessive feedline
loss.
INSTALLATION OF THE SUPPLIED BELT CLIP
1. Remove the dummy cover and its screw from the rear panel of the transceiver.
Keep the dummy cover and screw in case you need to replace them in the future.
2. Connect the supplied Belt Clip, along with its mounting screw, to the rear panel.
Do not use the Belt Clip screw to affix the dummy cover!
