RACK-MOUNTING NOTE:
The remote antenna is necessary when rack-
mounting the transmitter.
Position the remote antenna so it is not close to
any vertical metal surface. If possible, place it
on a horizontal metal surface to provide a
ground plane and better performance. Main-
taining line of sight with the receivers is not
always necessary, but will enhance reception.
Walls containing large amounts of wiring,
metal studs or concrete can block or reduce the
transmitter signal.

RF SIGNAL NOTE:
Any RF system is susceptible to “dropouts”
(reduced RF energy due to reflections and
cancellations), which result in a noisy signal. It
can usually be cured by moving the antenna around
until the signal is clear. Some-times, even a few
inches can dramatically alter performance.
