Up & in the clear To realize the optimum distance for your VideoComm Technologies wireless devices, “give them some air”. The radio waves coming from your TCO-5800 system antennas do not shoot out like a laser beam, rather they radiate from the antenna like a flash light beam. Therefore the transmitter and receiver should both be up and in the clear. -
