Antennas
• Install antennas taking into account the recommended minimum lateral distances in Table 1.
These antenna installation guidelines are limited to antennas with appropriate ground planes.
The antenna installation should additionally be in accordance with:
a.) The requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier.
b.) Instructions in this manual including minimum antenna cable lengths.
c.) Antennas other than those shown in Table 1 must be tested with the High Power DTX
