INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

n Antenna connection
For radio communications, the antenna is a critical
component, along with output power and sensitivity.
Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 ø an-
tenna, and feedline. 1.5:1 or better of Voltage Stand-
ing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is recommended for the de-
sired band. Of course, the transmission line should be
a coaxial cable.
CAUTION: DO NOT install the repeater without a
lightning arrestor to help protect the repeater from
lightning.
NOTE: There are many publications that describe
proper antennas and their installation. Check with
your local dealer for more information and recom-
mendations.
