RF Reception Maximization Strategies For proper and dependable operation, Listen receivers should receive a strong and consistent signal from the originating transmitter. The following strategies should be used maximize this signal: a. 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.
Coaxial Cable The antenna for the LT-800 can be mounted directly on the unit if desired. However, you may find that the unit will provide better performance when the antenna is located elsewhere. If you plan to mount the antenna in a different loca- tion than on the top of the unit, you must use cable and connectors rated at 50 Ohms.
You may be providing too much audio level for the input stage to handle. Make sure the SQ switch is in the correct position on both the LT-800 and the receivers you are using. If your receivers do not have SQ, make sure the SQ switch inside the top of the LT-800 is turned off (see page 5).
