Since your ground counterpoise is actually a part of your complete antenna system, pay just as much attention to RF grounding as you did to putting up that white fiber glass whip or installing to your insulated backstay. 14 65 15 · General SPECIFICATIONS · Frequency coverage Receive Transmit : (Unit: MHz) · DSC channels · Type of emission Transceiver DSC receiver · No. of memory Ch. 0. 5­29. 9999 1. 6­2. 9999 4. 0­4. 9999 6. 0­6. 9999 8. 0­8. 9999 12. 0­13. 9999 16. 0­17. 9999 18. 0­19. 9999 22. 0­22. 9999 25. 0­27. 5000 : 2, 187. 5 kHz, 4, 207. 5 kHz, 6, 312. 0 kHz, 8, 414. 5 kHz, 12, 577. 0 kHz, 16, 804. 5 kHz : J3E (USB/LSB), H3E, * J2B (AFSK), F1B (FSK), A1A (CW) J2B *Receive only · Transmitter · Output power 1. 6­27. 5000 MHz · Spurious emission · Carrier suppression · Unwanted sideband suppression · Mic. connector : 150/60/20 W p­p : ­62 dB : 40 dB below peak output power : 55 dB below peak output power : 8-pin connector (2. 4 k) · Receiver · Sensitivity Transceiver : · Antenna connector · Usable temp.
