the transceiver. Use the provided nylock nuts to tighten down the RFX150 assembly to the
transceiver. Make sure to not overtighten the nylock nuts.

Inside the transceiver, locate the wire that was soldered to the antenna connector that was
removed in step 3. Unsolder this wire from the transceiver’s circuit board and in its place
solder the center conductor of the coax from the RFX150. Solder the shield of the coax to the
transceiver’s CHASSIS Ground.
12.
Locate the transceivers +8 volt transmit voltage. Solder the Blue wire to this +8 volt transmit
voltage source. Optional: If you add a SPST switch in series with the Blue wire you can turn
the RFX150 on and off.
13.
Once you have verified that all connections and mounting are done properly apply power to
the transceiver and test the unit for proper operation.
14.
Referencing your transceiver’s service manual or technical documentation reset the carrier
level on AM/FM. With the transceiver’s output power set to maximum, adjust the carrier
level so that it does not exceed 40 watts. Exceeding 40 watts of carrier for a prolonged period
of time can damage the transceiver and installed RFX150.
