Antenna/Transmission System
This section provides general guidance to the mounting and connecting of the RF
transmission system, consisting of the antenna, RF cabling, and RF lightning arrestors.
Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for proper mounting, grounding, and wiring of
these devices, and for definitive direction. These manufacturer’s instructions supersede
any information in this section.
The following tables list antennas recommended for use in the USA with the i-Series
radios. The EX-4.9i may use any antenna. In some countries, antennas exceeding a
certain level of gain may be unlawful. Refer to
RF Output Power Setting on page 33 for
details on regulatory limits. See Regulatory Notices on page 4 for supported antennas in
Canada.
