The following list of antenna setups is provided to assist you in using the SIR 3000 with additional
antennae. To use this list, you must enter the correct parameters. You may wish to save any special
parameters in a separate setup (under the System menu) to help you easily recall them. Some of these are
no longer commercially available, but the system does function with all older antennas. They are
designated by their center frequency, and in some cases a D or S which noted whether that setup is for
Deep or Shallow prospecting. Please note that many of these antennae have a different listed transmit rate
than the default one on the SIR 3000. The transmit rate listed here is the rate that the antenna was tested
and rated at. It may function correctly at a higher transmit rate and allow you to collect data faster, but
you must pay careful attention to your data to decide if the antenna is functioning correctly at the different
rate.
If your system is beeping, it indicates that your T_RATE is too high for this antenna.
