COMTEK BST 75-216 - Manual (Page 5)

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 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) can be used. The
transmitter should be placed on a
table or platform as high as possible
and 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.
