2.5.1 Improving Signal Quality
To improve the signal quality of each Remote radio, try the following.
Increase the height of the antenna's placement
Use higher-gain antennas
Decrease any TX attenuation that has been configured in the radios
Select a new location for the Remote radio and/or its antenna
Decrease the length of antenna cable
Determine and resolve sources of electrical noise which may be interfering with the
radio transmission
Add a Repeater radio between the radios that are not communicating, or reconfigure
an existing radio as a Repeater if line of sight is available
