Antenna Requirements

The UAD4 may be used with a variety of anten- nas. For best results, use a pair of ALP-450 di- rectional log periodic antennas. See Figure 4. The ALP-450 offers the best performance and broadest bandwidth available.

Good results may be obtained with optional CLA or FA-500 1/2 wave antennas.

The 1/4-wave antennas that are supplied with the Telex wireless systems will provide adequate performance in some situations. The 1/4-wave antennas should be oriented as shown in Figure

5.Do not use 1/4-wave antennas for remote mounting.

Antenna Placement

If antennas are mounted directly to the UAD4, they should be configured as shown in Figure 5.

Do not rack mount the UAD4 in this configu- ration. Serious loss of range and performance may occur.

Place the UAD4 with antennas in a location that is in direct view of the transmitters for best re- sults.
