The antenna on the LEFT side of the repeater is the MASTER. The antenna on the RIGHT side of 
the repeater is the SLAVE.   

 

The CP 3000 has an antenna on the MASTER side only 

SLAVES ALWAYS TALK TO MASTERS.  Therefore,  all transmitters report  to the  left side  (master) of the 
repeater. The repeater then transmits the data through the right side (slave) to the left side (master) of 
the next repeater that it talks to.

Page 1: ...g Yagi Antennas The use of a Yagi Antenna or matching Yagi Antennas should be considered when you have at least one building that is farther than a typical Omni repeater to repeater installation can handle which is typically about 1100 feet when there is a clear unobstructed line of sight The other case would be when you have a large installation and you would like to have one direct link from the...
