CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION
Unpacking
The PRC1077 is shipped in a heavy-duty corrugated cardboard carton with the
accessories packed in a separate carton. Do not discard the cartons and packing
materials in case the equipment needs to be reshipped.
Inspect the equipment for possible damage during shipment. Check all
accessories against the packing list.
Location Considerations
Manpack and
Fixed Base
Applications
The PRC1077 operates at high frequencies with low power so the equipment
location can greatly affect its operating range. Typically, if the other station can
be seen (line of sight), the PRC1077 can provide good communication. An
intervening hill or a tall building may hamper or prevent contact with other
stations. Valleys and densely wooded areas also impair communication quality.
Positioning the transceiver on a hilltop or a tower increases the operating range.
If possible, avoid locations near a source of electrical interference, such as
power or telephone lines, radar sets, and hospitals.
