(recommended in section 3.2.1) the value of the resistor should be a 120 Ohm ¼ watt
resistor.
To terminate a Base Radio, place one end of the resistor in the open terminal block’s B
slot and place the other end of the resistor in the open terminal block’s A slot. Doing so
will place the resistor across the A and B wires, as needed. An example of this is shown
in Figure 3-10.

Radio housing. To ground the Base Radio simply place a wire from the grounding screw
to a grounded object.
A high-gain antenna is ava
