Remote Antenna
When the BST 75-216 base station transmitter
is to be rack mounted for permanent
installation, a remote antenna must be used.
For high performance application when
greater coverage is required, the Phase-Right
or Mini-Mite 1/2 wave omni antenna should
be used. These antennas must be placed
vertically polarized up to 15 feet away from
the transmitter with the coaxial cable
supplied. The highest possible antenna
placement away from any metallic object is
best. For high gain directional yagi type
antennas and specialty antennas, contact
COMTEK’s Technical Support Services.
Short Loaded Whip BNC Antenna
If the BST 75-216 base station transmitter
is to be used outside of the traditional
rack-mounted environment for
stand-alone mobile type applications,
the short loaded whip antenna
(SLW 75-216) should be used.
The transmitter should be placed
on a table or platform as high as
possible so the antenna is at least
24” away from any metallic object.
The radiated output power of
the transmitter with this short
loaded whip antenna will not
be as great as the remote
antennas. The BST 75-216
transmitter should be used only
in the high power setting when
the short loaded whip antenna
is used.
