2.1 Low Frequency Antennas

You can configure the pulseEKKO with 12.5, 25, 50, 100, or 200 MHz low frequency,
unshielded, bistatic antennas. The shortest antennas (200 MHz) are 0.5 meters long, while the
longest antennas (12.5 MHz) are 8 meters long.
2.1.1 Attaching Antenna Sockets to the Transmitter & Receiver
Insert and tighten the two female brass antenna sockets into the bottom of the transmitter and
receiver electronic boxes. Finger-tighten the sockets; do not over-tighten. These should be
checked every time the transmitter and receiver are connected to the antennas, as they may get
loose during regular field operations.
