Antenna and Feeder

·          If you are using an internal A.T.U., or the transmitter / receiver is already matched to the antenna, then connect the other end of the feeder to the transmitter / receiver.   

Microphone or Morse Key etc.

Power Supply

 

·          If an external mains power supply is being used you will need to connect the transmitter / receiver to the output of the power suply (usually 13.8 Volts) and then plug this into the mains and switch the mains socket switch on.
