Antenna Configurations
When designing your system, consider the need for increased range as well as the need
for directionality. Keep in mind which antenna on your long-range repeater is the
receiving antenna and which is the transmitting antenna. Below is an example of a system
that uses a standard repeater and a long-range repeater with an omni antenna receiving
and a Yagi antenna transmitting.
