Pattern is critical.
You must use the Radio 2 antenna
connectors; these are on the right side
of the unit when viewed from the
front. The panel antennas included
with the HotPort 5020 are ‘handed’;
the individual antenna connections
on the radio unit must be connected
to the antenna in a specific way, and
it is slightly different on each end of
the link.
On one end of the link, connect the
three antenna leads as shown in red.
On the other end, connect them as
shown in green. Not that this reverses
connections 2 and 3; this preserves
matching antenna polarization.
