Antenna
The antenna is a most critical part of the complete radio installation. It must accept
the output power from the transmitter, radiate that power with minimum loss and in
the receive mode, accept weak signals for input to the receiver.
Incorrect antenna installations will yield poor system performance and are often the
cause of complaints of poor transceiver performance.
A range of antennas is available from Barrett to suit most small fixed stations.
Detailed instructions are included with each antenna.
