for mast-mounting near the antenna for enhanced system
performance. The RFC mast-mount and rack-mount housings

A
NTENNA
Tracer is intended to be coupled with an antenna that is directional
and provides signal gain. There are several reasons for this
requirement:
• Tracer operates in point-to-point applications; therefore, an
omnidirectional antenna is not needed.
• The FCC provides no recourse in this band in the event of nearby
interference, so a highly directional antenna reduces the
likelihood of interference in the antenna pattern.
• The low power transmitter is intended to be used with a high-
gain antenna for long links.
The antenna requirements are listed below.
