All AT-5555 antennas and accessories are designed to give maximum efficiency to each CB radio within the range.
the engine block or to the chassis. If this is not the case, you should consult your dealer. WARNING: Lorries generally have two batteries to supply a voltage of 24 volts, in which case it will be necessary to insert a 24/12 volt converter into the electrical circuit. The following connection steps should be carried out with the power cable disconnected from the set.

This switch is for adjusting sensitivity during reception. For long distance communications RF GAIN should be set to maximum. RF GAIN can be reduced to avoid distortion, when your correspondent is close by and when he does not have RF POWER. The normal setting of this function is on maximum (fully clockwise).
