RF401-series and RF430-series Spread Spectrum Radio/Modems 

16 

4.4  Compatible Antennas 

The 900 MHz antennas are compatible with the RF401, RF411, 

RF430, and RF431.  The 2.4 GHz antennas are compatible with 

the RF416 and RF432. 

Several antennas are offered to satisfy the needs for various base station and 

remote station requirements.  These antennas have been tested at an authorized 

FCC open-field test site and are certified to be in compliance with FCC 

emissions limits.  All antennas (or antenna cables) have an RPSMA female 

connector for connection to the radio.  The use of an unauthorized antenna 

could cause transmitted field strengths in excess of FCC rules, interfere with 

licensed services, and result in FCC sanctions against user.  The antennas are 

listed below.  Photographs of some of the antennas are shown in FIGURE 

4-1

 

through FIGURE 

4-8

. 

An FCC authorized antenna is a REQUIRED component. 

You must pick one of the antennas listed below.
