    NSTALLATION AND NTERCONNECTIONS NTENNA ONSIDERATIONS The FT 5000 is designed for use with any antenna system providing a 50 Ohm resistive impedance at the desired operat- ing frequency. While minor excursions from the 50-Ohm specification are of no consequence, if the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) present at the Antenna jack is greater than 3:1, the Antenna Tuner may not be able to reduce the impedance mis- match to an acceptable value.
