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 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.
