1.8 ANTENNA
Primary antenna connections are SMA female connectors and must be used with antenna with SMA male connectors.
When using a direct mount or rubber duck antenna, choose the antenna specific to your band requirements. Mounting
options and cable lengths are user’s choice and application specific.
The AUX antenna connector is installed on all standard models and can be used for Diversity or True GPS. The diversity port
supports three bands, Cellular (850 MHZ), PCS(1900 MHZ), and GPS(1575 MHZ). Connect a dual band cellular antenna to
this port to implement RX diversity on the unit and increase receive sensitivity on the cellular network. Connect a GPS
