Caution

Protect

---

Use

a

LIGHTNING

ARRESTER.

The

type

of

antenna

that

is

used

will

greatly

affect

the

performance

of

the

transceiver.

Use

a

properly

adjusted

antenna,

of

good

quality,

to

enable

your

transceiver

to

perform

at

its

best.

The

antenna

input

impedance

is

50

ohms.

Use

50-ohm

coaxial

cable

such

as

RG-8

or

5D-2V

for

this

connection.

If

the

antenna

is

far

from

the

transceiver

the

use

of

low

loss

coaxial

cable,

such

as

10D-2V

is

recommended.

Match

the

impedance

of

the

coaxial

cable

and

that

of

the

antenna

so

that

the

SWR

is

less

than

1.5

to

1.

The

protection

circuit

in

the

transceiver

will

activate

if

the

SWR

is

particularly

poor

(greater

than

3

to

1).

A

high

SWR

value

will

cause

transmitter

output

to

drop,

and

may

lead

to

TVI

or

BCI

reports.

(2)

Grounding

Caution

Never

use

a

gas

pipe

or

electrical

conduit

pipe

for

ground

connection.

Notes

1.

A

ground

connection

that

is

a

1/4

wavelength

or

its

multiple

may

provide

a

good

DC

ground,

but

it

will

not

provide

a

|

j

Making

a

good

earth

connection

is

important

for

preventing

dangers

such

as

electric

shock

and

for

emitting

a

high

quality

signal

with

minimum

spurious

radiation.

Bury

a

commercially

available

ground

rod

or

copper

plate

under

the

ground

and

connect

it

to

the

GND

terminal.

A

thick

wire,

cut

as

short

as

possible,

should

be

used

for

the

connection.

To

make

a

good

earth

connection,

connect

the

GND

terminal

to

a

grounded

metal

water

pipe.

(3)

External

speaker

The

TS-950SDX

includes

a

built-in

speaker.

If

you

would

like

to

use

an

external

speaker,

such

as

the

SP-

950,

it

may

be

connected

to

the

EXT

SP

jack

on

the

rear

of

the

radio.

The

speaker

may

be

any

good

8

ohm

permanent

magnet

type

speaker.

The

diameter

should

be

at

least

4

inches

for

good

audio

quality.

If

you

plan

on

using

a

speaker

other

than

the

SP-950,

it

should

be

equipped

with

a

miniature

phone

@

ATT

(Attenuator)

switch

When

the

incoming

receive

signal

is

very

strong,

the

signal

should

be

attenuated

to

prevent

distortion

of

the

signal,

thereby

stabilizing

the

receiver

performance.

This

is

easily

done

by

activating

the

ATT

switch.

This

control

is

also useful

when

a

strong

signal

is

near

your

desired

signal;

while

some

loss

will

occur

to

the

desired

signal,

as

well

as

the

undesired

signal,

the

use

of

the

attenuator

will

sometimes

allow

you

to

understand

what

is

being

received.

This

switch

allows

attenuation

of

the

input

signal

by

6,

12

or

18

dB.

For

normal

receiver

performance,

this

switch

should

be

in

the

0

position.
