Audio Setup
The SS-96VHP uses standard Cobra-style four-pin microphone wiring, matching the included DRX-6560. Its connector is on the side of the radio, so allow clearance for the plug and cord. Connect the DRX-9010 to the external-speaker output for received audio, and mount it where it will not obstruct controls or vehicle safety equipment. The extra DRX-6560 does not remove the factory microphone supplied with the radio.
This package does not include an antenna, antenna mount or coax cable. Use a suitable antenna system adjusted for the frequencies you intend to operate.
Amateur Radio Operation
The SS-96VHP is a 10-meter amateur radio, not a license-free CB radio. Transmitting requires the appropriate amateur radio license. Use only frequencies and modes permitted by your license.
Pro Tune and Alignment
Don't forget to add the Pro tune and alignment option at checkout so that your radio is professionally bench-tuned for best performance per the manufacturer's service manual.
