Backpack Setup
You can use either the RPA or the whip antenna for this application.
The RPA is installed in the same manner as for the pole-mounted setup
(see Pole-Mounted Setup, page 18).
C
Warning – The RPA is tuned for operation with the GPS antenna cable
running through it. Operating it from a backpack may reduce its operating
range.
To set up the 5700 receiver for use in a backpack:
1. Insert the 5700 receiver into the backpack with the ports on the
top panel facing upwards and the front panel facing outwards,
and secure around the middle with the velcro strap.
2. Attach the Zephyr antenna to a range pole.
3. Attach the whip antenna mount to one of the fittings on the top
of the backpack.
4. The backpack has a feedthrough on both sides at the top and on
both sides near the bottom to allow cables to be positioned out
of the way of the main zipper. Feed the radio communications
cable through at the top, and connect it to the blue TNC port on
the 5700.
5. Connect the straight end of the yellow GPS cable to the yellow
TNC port on the receiver.
6. Feed the right angle connector on the yellow GPS cable through
the top or side slot on the backpack, and connect it to the
Zephyr antenna.
7. Connect one end of the 6 ft 0-shell to 0-shell cable (Part
Number 31288-02) to Port 1 on the 5700 receiver.
8. Feed the 0-shell cable through the side slot of the backpack and
connect it to the TSC1 data collector.
