Page 9: Antenna Configurations
Antenna Configurations When designing your system, consider the need for increased range as well as the need for directionality. Keep in mind which antenna on your long-range repeater is the receiving antenna and which is the transmitting antenna. Below is an example of a system that uses a standard repeater and a long-range repeater with an omni antenna receiving and a Yagi antenna transmitting. - Page 10 Mounting the Repeater and External Antennas The antenna configuration and long-range repeater can be mounted on a pole. Use the provided U-bolts for the wireless repeater and the U-bolts provided for each antenna type to install them all to a pole. Note: To accommodate your antenna configuration (omni and Yagi or Yagi and Yagi), mount the antennas first before mounting the wireless repeater enclosure.
