ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The supplied antenna provides good results over the entire frequency range of the trans-
ceiver. However, for enhanced base station medium-wave and shortwave reception, you
may wish to connect an external (outside) antenna. The supplied antenna consists of two
sections: the “Base Antenna” (used for operation above 50 MHz), and the “Extender Ele-
ment” (used for monitoring of frequencies below 50 MHz).
TO INSTALL THE SUPPLIED ANTENNA
Hold the bottom end of the antenna, then screw it onto the
mating connector on the transceiver until it is snug. Do not
over-tighten by use of extreme force.
When operating the VX-8R on the 50 MHz band and lower
frequencies, disconnect the antenna cap from the base antenna,
then screw the Extender Element onto the Antenna Base. Of
course, the VX-8R may be operated on frequencies higher
than the 50 MHz band while the Extender Element is still at-
tached to the Antenna Base.
Notes:
Never transmit without having an antenna connected.
Carefully turn the supplied antenna onto the SMA jack.
Never twist the upper part of the antenna while screwing
it onto the mating connector of the transceiver.
If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that
the SWR presented to the transceiver is 1.5:1 or lower.
Take care, do not lose the antenna cap when removing it
from the Base Antenna.
BELT CLIP INSTALLATION
Install the supplied Belt Clip to the FNB-101LI
Battery Pack using the supplied two screws
(Figure 1). Use only the screws included with
the Belt Clip to mount the Belt Clip to the back
of the Battery Pack!
If you do not need the Belt Clip, install the sup-
plied Plastic Cap to the Battery Pack (Figure
2). If you install the belt clip later, push the Plas-
tic Cap out with a small tool or screwdriver.
