Specifications subject to change without notice or obligation.
NOTE:
Range calculations for fixed locations assume a 6 dBd gain Omnidirectional antenna on a 100 ft
tower at the AP, a 10 dBd gain Yagi on a 25 ft mast at the remote with output power decreased to
yield maximum allowable EIRP (36 dBm), a 10 dB fade margin, and a mix of agricultural and
commercial terrain with line of sight.
Range calculations for mobile units assume a 6 dBd gain Omni on a 100 ft tower at the AP, a 5
dBd gain Omni with 1 watt output power at 6 ft height, a 10 dB fade margin, and 90% confidence
with near line-of-sight in a mix of agricultural and commercial terrain.
Actual performance is dependent on many factors including antenna height, blocked paths, and
terrain.

Channel Hop Table
The transceiver’s hop table consists of 80 channels, numbered 0 to 79 as listed in Table 5-4. Center frequen-
cies are calculated as follows (where Fn is the center frequency of channel n):
Fn = 902.5 MHz + n*316.5 kHz
The iNET-II transceiver operates on the same channel assignments, but because the modulation bandwidth
is 600 kHz instead of 316.5 kHz it is recommended that the installer restrict channel usage to every other
channel for units operating in the same area.
