Antennas of different polarities will also tend to have less connectivity. The units below are
polarized differently, one is vertical and one is horizontal:
Therefore, for best results, always orient the antennas in the same direction on both the
transmitter and receiver, avoid on-axis setups, and locate the units within sight of each other.
Note that in cases with multiple broadcasters in the same environment, the separation resulting
from miss-matched polarity between different systems can also be an advantage. Since most
wireless system’s antennas tend to be set with vertical polarity because it looks “right”, you can
often get some extra isolation for your system in a crowded space by using different (often
horizontal) polarity. This is discussed further in the section on setting up Panel Antennas.
