    Section 5 External Antenna Guidelines NOTE: Doubling the E.R.P. does not double the range of an antenna. External Antenna Selection Criteria The following sections identify the factors to consider when selecting the type and location of external antenna to use with your OMEGA unit.

  • Page 49: Electrical Interference

    Section 5 External Antenna Guidelines Electrical Interference Never locate an antenna near high voltage power lines. In addition, take into account any other sources of possible electrical interference such as AC power lines, radio-frequency generators, and other antennas. Distance from the Antenna to OMEGA Determine this distance by checking the signal strength.
