Congratulations on your purchase of the Phantom Elite
®
Antenna.
The Elite is a patented antenna product offered exclusively by Laird Technologies and
its affiliates. Like two antennas in one, the Elite features a wideband, no tune,
field-diversity design providing the same benefits of the standard Phantom in
a striking aerodynamic shape.
Mounting Instructions:
For optimum performance, the mounting area must be free of metal obstructions
within half electrical wavelength apart. This is approximately 12.8” at 450 MHz and
7” at 800 MHz. Any object within this range may detune the antenna.
The Phantom Elite has a unique shape that when installed correctly, has the
distinct aerodynamic look of a vertical stabilizer on an aircraft. This shape has
what is known as a leading edge (the more angled edge) and a trailing edge.
For the best installed look, the leading edge should face towards the front of
the vehicle. Because of this unidirectional design, we have developed a unique
colleting action mounting system that allows for appropriate alignment of the
antenna during installation.
