Receiver
The AR9010 incorporates two internal receivers, and requires one external 
receiver (included) offering the security of multi path RF redundancy. Two
internal receivers are located on the main PC board, while a third external
receiver must be attached to the main board with an extension. Additionally an
optional fourth receiver can be added offering the ultimate in RF link security
and redundancy. By locating each receiver in slightly different locations in the
aircraft, each receiver is exposed to its own RF environment, greatly improving
path diversity (the ability for the receiver to see the signal in all conditions). 
Antenna Polarization
For optimum RF link performance it’s important that the antennas be mounted 
in an orientation that allows for the best possible signal reception when the
aircraft is in all possible attitudes and positions. This is known as antenna
polarization. The antennas should be oriented perpendicular to each other;
