Antenna Connection
The base station is supplied with two (2) antennas. One 1/2-
wave antenna for UHF transmit and one end-fed 1/2-wave for
VHF receive. The antennas have TNC male connectors.
The frequency range of the antennas should match the receiver
and transmi
tter of the base station. Match the color code on the
antenna with the color code on the base station.
Attach the transmit 1/2-wave antenna to the antenna input
receptacle labeled Transmit on the right side of the rear panel.
The antenna should be vertically aligned.
Screw the two VHF antenna halves together. Attach the receive
end-fed 1/2-wave antenna to the antenna input receptacle
labeled Receive on the left side of the rear panel. The antenna
should be vertically aligned.
NOTE: If needed, adjus
t the set screw that is near the 90
degree elbow of the antenna to keep the antenna
upright.
Antenna Polarization
The RTS Wireless Intercom System is vertically polarized. This
means both the transmitting and receiving antennas should
operate in the vertical position.
