dio frequency (RF) energy. Also, the energy from any VHF
radio antenna can be harmful, even one properly rated at
3 dB of gain! Do not come in contact with the antenna
while a transmission is being sent. Be sure the antenna is
installed where it is separated from people by at least 3
feet of space.
