DC Power On Antenna Cable During Transmit

A jumper is provided to add +5VDC to the antenna cable center conductor during transmit if desired. The load
must not draw more than 1 mA. The jumper is P8 on the K144XV pc board. To access the jumper, remove the
K3 top cover (see Figure 1on page 9), then remove the K144XV top cover (see Figure 8on page15). Place the
shorting block over both pins of P8.

Note: There are two other jumpers, P2 and P3, on the K144XV pc board that are provided for future use. These
must have shorting blocks in place. Do not remove them.
