ANTENNA CONSIDERATIONS
The FTM-10R is designed for use with antennas presenting an impedance of near 50 Ohms
at all operating frequencies. To avoid damage that could result if transmission occurs acci-
dentally without an antenna, the antenna (or a 50 Ohm dummy load) should be connected
whenever the transceiver is turned on.
Ensure that your antenna is designed to handle 50 Watts of transmitter power. Some mag-
netic-mount mobile antennas, designed for use with hand-held transceivers, may not be
capable of withstanding this power level. Consult the antenna manufacturer's specification
sheet for details.
Use high-quality 50-Ohm coaxial cable for the lead-in to your FTM-10R transceiver. All
efforts at providing an efficient antenna system will be wasted if poor quality, “lossy” co-
axial cable is used. Losses in coaxial lines increase as the frequency increases, so an 8-
meter-long (25’) coaxial line with under 1 dB of loss at 144 MHz may have a loss of 3 dB
or more at 446 MHz. Choose your coaxial cable carefully based on the installation location
(mobile vs. base) and the overall length of the cable required. (For very short runs of cable
in a mobile installation, the smaller, more flexible cable types may be acceptable.)
For reference, the chart below shows approximate loss figures for typically available co-
axial cables frequently used in VHF/UHF installations.

INSTALLATION
Loss figures are approximate; consult cable manufacturers’ cata-
logs for complete specifications.
In outdoor installations, be certain to weatherproof all connectors thoroughly, as water
entering a coaxial cable will cause losses to escalate rapidly, thus diminishing your commu-
nications effectiveness. The use of the shortest possible length of the highest quality coaxial
cable that fits within your budget will ensure the best performance from your FTM-10R.

quirements.
