For best performance:
•The antenna should be mounted as high as possible.
•Keep the antenna away from large metal objects and other radiating devices like RADAR, TV and GPS and
other antennas.
•The RA1288FME antenna can be installed with Glomex RG-62 low loss coaxial cable with pre-installed FME
connector on one termination and Motorola plug on the other to simplify the installation (no soldering
required).
