5.0 Installation Instructions -- Introduction

Several key factors unique to the particular installation determine the power level at the

input of the Converter/Amplifier ODU. The most important consideration is the cable

loss in the transmission cable between the radio and the remotely mounted

Converter/Amplifier. It is imperative that the professional installer be

knowledgeable about these and other factors when installing the system.

IMPORTANT: It is vital that the Converter not be over-driven in the transmit mode.

Doing so will cause it to go into compression resulting in increased

transmitter noise and severe interference to adjacent channels

without any increase in range or Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).
