Setting up the MAC for use
To set up the MAC for use, do the following:
1. Connect antenna to BNC antenna port located on the front of the MAC Radio
Case.
NOTE
: RF communications are affected by a number of physical factors; such
as, antenna placement and RF interference. Therefore, the placement of the radio
antenna on high ground typically improves radio commutations. Whereas, the
placement of the radio antenna inside a vehicle can degrade radio commutations.
2. Connect the USB cable between the computer and the USB port located in the
front the MAC Radio Case.
NOTE
: You can use the RS232 port instead of the USB port.
