Yaesu FGPS-1 Installation

The Yaesu FGPS-1 internal GPS antenna is an additional antenna you can attach to the Yaesu FTM-350 series of radio transceivers. Though it's known as an internal antenna, the FGPS-1 sticks out from the back of the radio unit. You can use the FGPS-1 to receive GPS data on the radio. You need a Phillips screwdriver to install the antenna, but you don't need any special tools or cables for the connection.

Things You'll Need

• Phillips screwdriver

Instructions

1. Remove the two screws from the small door on the back of the Yeasu FTM-350 and pull the door off the unit. Do not discard the screws. You'll need them to install the FGPS-1.

2. Pull the white ribbon cable out of the back of the radio. Do not damage the cable by pulling hard on it.

3. Slide the end of the ribbon cable attached to the radio into the connector on the back of the FGPS-1.

4. Attach the FGPS-1 to the FTM-350 by inserting the screws through the holes on the outside of the antenna and tightening them with the Phillips screwdriver.
