DO NOT - mount the BTR-300 5/8-wave an- tennas next to metal such as beams, walls with metal studs, equipment racks, etc. This also applies to the antennas when assembled directly to the BTR-300. This will “detune” the receiving antenna which can result in noise or loss of RF signal at the BTR-300. See Figure 17.
