Connecting antennas
For more information about antennas and antenna accessories, see
“Antennas and accessories”.
In order to ensure optimal reception even in the case of poor recep-
tion conditions, we recommend using remote antennas.
Connecting remote antennas
▷Mount two antennas or a combination of an antenna and an antenna
amplifier to the BNC sockets ANT RF IN A and ANT RF IN B.
Connecting rod antennas
▷Mount the antennas to the BNC sockets ANT RF IN A and ANT RF IN B.
▷Align the antennas in a V-shape in order to ensure the best possible re-
ception.
