LR-600 Maximizing RF Reception Strategies
For proper and dependable operation, the LR-600 should receive a strong and consistent
signal from the originating transmitter. The following strategies should be used to maximize
this signal:
1
When designing and installing your system, keep in mind that the location of both the
transmitting and receiving antennas is critical to maximizing signal strength.
2
Eliminate or minimize obstructions between the transmitting antenna and the receiving
antenna.
3 Minimize the distance between the transmitting and receiving antennas.
4
Move transmitting and receiving antennas away from metal objects.
5 Consider using a remote antenna instead of the internal antenna. This will allow you to
place the antenna at a location with improved line of sight to the transmitting antenna.
(You will need to be careful about the type and length of coaxial cable; see the note
above.)
6
Place the transmitting antenna as high as possible.
7
Orient both transmitting and receiving antennas vertically.
8
Consider using a gain antenna such as a Yagi type antenna (216 MHz only).
CAUTION: When installing antennas, ensure the antenna is clear of power lines.
NOTES: If the RF signal to the LR-600 is too high, the audio will be distorted. This may
happen if you are within 40 feet of the LT-800 transmitter. Consider reducing the
output power of the transmitter or optionally removing the antenna on the LR-600
(there is sufficient internal antenna inside the LR-600 to receive an adequate signal
from the transmitter).
Coaxial cable, connectors, and optional antenna mounting kits are available from Listen.
