Antenna Guide
The A20-RX ships with an antenna set which includes:
●
2 470-548 MHz antennas (1 straight, 1 right-angle)
●
2 548-638 MHz antennas (1 straight, 1 right-angle)
●
2 uncut antennas (1 straight, 1 right-angle)
●
6 antenna caps
Sound Devices offers additional pre-cut and uncut antennas as available options.
Attach antennas with a length specific to the frequency in use. Using the wrong length of antenna reduces RF range.
Cutting Antennas to Length
Uncut antennas need to be cut to the length specific to the frequency for intended use.
●
Determine the frequency range intended for the uncut antenna using the Antenna Length chart.
●
Measure the antenna for the cut point. Measurements should begin from the bottom of the SMA connector.
●
Using a pair of cutters, cut the quarter-wave antenna at the specified cut point.
●
Position the antenna cap onto the cut-end of the antenna and push the cap firmly onto the ant
enna.
