Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is recommended for
desired band. Of course, the transmission line should
be a coaxial cable.

To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems,
ground the transceiver through the [GND] terminal on
the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance
between the [GND] terminal and ground as short as
possible.
