ANTENNA CONNECTION

It is essential to select a good quality, high efficiency, 477 MHz antenna. A poor quality antenna or one not designed for the
specific frequency band you are using will give very poor performance.

GME have a wide range of suitable 477 MHz UHF CB antennas to suit most installations and applications. We recommend
contacting your local GME retailer for advice. Connect to the antenna cable to the rear antenna socket using a PL259 coaxial
connector.

NOISE SUPPRESSION

The inherent design of FM transceivers results in a high level of resistance to ignition and electrical interference. However
in some installations it may be necessary to take additional steps to help reduce or eliminate noise interference. During
installation, try to route the DC battery leads, the antenna lead or any accessory wires away from the engine compartment,
ignition or alternator wiring. If the noise continues, it may be necessary to fit a suppression kit in which case we recommend
you consult an auto electrician for advice specific to your installation.

Higher frequency electrical interference cause by electric motors can be suppressed directly at the motor terminals.
