ProLinx 5000/6000 Series Module 

1.4 Install 

the 

Antenna 

All antennas for radios communicating directly with each other should be 
mounted so they are within line-of-sight and have the same antenna polarity.  

Antennas with a reverse polarity SMA connector can be mounted directly on the 
radio. Screw the antenna onto the antenna port connector until snug. 

Antennas that do not have a reverse polarity SMA connector must be mounted 
separately and connected to the radio using a ProSoft RadioLinx adaptor cable. 
Because the antenna cable attenuates the RF signal, 

use

 

an

 

antenna

 

cable no

 

longer

 

than

 

necessary

 

to

 

ensure

 

optimum performance

. 

Note: 

It is illegal to use any antenna that is not on the ProSoft Technology approved antennas list. 

Contact ProSoft Technology (page 3) with any questions or browse the antenna FAQ at
