10 It is recommended that lugs be used to connect the power cable to the DC supply and that lugs should be both crimped and soldered. This is very important in order to insure adequate current draw to the equipment. Intermittent operation may result if an insufficient connection is made to the power...
Page 23 - Use an antenna with the highest possible gain characteristics.
11 There are several factors to consider in order to maximize the effective communication range of the radio. • Since VHF transmissions are essentially Line-of-Sight, mount the antenna at the highest possible location on the vessel and free of obstruction in order to obtain maximum range. • Use an a...
