Improving Reception and Increasing Range
Keeping the distance from the base station and beltpack as short and unobstructed as possible produces the most reliable antenna
performance.
The base station is supplied with two (2) antennas. This provides satisfactory system performance in most applications. System
range can be enhanced by remotely mounting the 1/2-wave antennas. The 1/2-wave antennas are ground plane independent, so a
ground plane is not required for good performance.
