- Page 22 airFiber AF-24 Quick Start Guide Alignment Tips • Fine-tuning is best achieved by a pair of installers with a dedicated, two-way communication link: one installer makes adjustments on one airFiber radio while the other installer reports the received signal level at the other airFiber radio. Fine-tuning (see Fine-Tuning the Link) is necessary because the main lobe of the receiver is narrower than that of the transmitter, in both azimuth and elevation.
