ANTENNA cONNEcTION Before operating, you must first install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The success of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna system and its installation are given careful attention. Use a low-loss coaxial feed line that also has a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω, to match the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed lin
