■ Unpacking

After unpacking, immediately report any damage to the deliv-

ering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons.

For a description and a diagram of accessory equipment in-

cluded with the ID-1, see ‘Supplied Accessories’ on p. iv of

this manual.

■ Selecting a location

Select a location for the transceiver that allows adequate air

circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or vibrations, and

away from TV sets, TV antenna elements, radios and other

electromagnetic sources.

■ Antenna connection

For radio communications, the antenna is of critical impor-

tance, along with output power and sensitivity. Select an-

tenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 Ω antenna, and feedline.

1.5:1 or better of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is

recommended for your desired band. Of course, the trans-

mission line should be a coaxial cable.

CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from lightning by using

a lightning arrestor.

NOTE: There are many publications covering proper an-

tennas and their installation. Check with your local dealer

for more information and recommendations.

• Antenna location for mobile operation

To obtain maximum performance from the transceiver, select

a high-quality antenna and mount it in a good location. A non-

radial antenna should be used when using a magnetic mount.
