11.2 Range
Specifying ranges is very difficult due to the influence of
various factors. Based on practical tests, it is possible to
provide the following guide values. They may be
significantly higher or lower depending on the actual
application.
The range depends on the following:
Length of the antenna cable (the shorter the cable, the
lower the attenuation)
Antenna used
Mounting location
Line of sight
Adherence to the Fresnel zone
In order to minimize signal losses, keep the antenna cable
as short as possible.
