inches) must be maintained between the radiating elements of the antenna and nearby people. You must
also provide strain relief for all Reader connections.
The only antennas authorized by the FCC for use with the Sargas Reader are listed in the table
below. Detailed information on each antenna is available from their respective manufacturers.
Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 6 dBiL are strictly prohibited for use
with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms
