radio antenna connector.
1. Before connecting power to the radio, ensure that the antenna is connected to the antenna port. If the antenna is not available, terminate the Antenna port
with a N type male 50 ohm termination (10 Watts min, up to 3 GHz). The two radios can be interconnected on the bench with two N type male 50ohm 30 /
40dB attenuators (10 Watts min, up to 3 GHz) on the antenna ports, interconnected with a N type coaxial cable. Do not directly connect the two radio antenna
ports without attenuation of at least 60 dB. The receiver can be damaged if signals greater than -20 dBm are applied to the antenna port.
2. Connect the external power supply to the radio terminal.
3. For DC power supplies, switch on the external power supply.
For AC power supplies, turn the radio power switch on.
