  • Page 70 SAILOR 6215/6216 VHF DSC Installation 1. An omni-directional antenna with a maximum power gain of 5.2 dBi must be mounted at least 9.6 ft (2.9m) above the highest deck where people may be staying during radio transmissions. The distance is to be measured vertically from the lowest point of the antenna. This provides the minimum separation distance which is in compliance with RF exposure requirements and is based on the MPE radius of 3 ft (0,9m) plus the 6.6 ft (2m) height of an adult.
