Introduction. The Indoor Antennae are simple 1/4 Wavelength (0 dB Gain) types. They are used with Kaval 12, 16, or 20 dB Cable Taps. As such the maximum EIRP will be at the first Tapped Antenna, which will be 12 dB below the maximum signal level of the BDA1300 +25 dBm, or 0.32 Watts EIRP.
Equipment Manual 7 BDA Controller and Configuration Kaval’s BDA’s can be configured very easily without the use of any tool via the BDA Controller. The BDA must be powered up before setting the BDA operating parameters. The operating parameters are set to specific defaults at the Kaval factory.
