3.3 Antennas and Feedlines

Antennas

The transceiver can be used with a number of antennas. The exact style 
depends on the physical size and layout of the radio system. A direc-
tional Yagi (

Figure 7

) or corner reflector antenna is generally recom-

mended at remote sites to minimize interference to and from other users. 
Antennas of this type are available from several manufacturers.
