A Telex coax as sem bly is re quired. See“Ac ces sory” sec tion for or der in for ma tion.NOTE: If your BTR-300 trans ceiver is to belo cated in a shielded rack mount en clo sure orother poor RF lo ca tion, you must re mote the5/8-wave an ten nas with coax as sem blies.AN TENNA PLACE MENTProper an tenna place ment prob a bly has themost ef fect on your TELEX Wire less In ter comSys tem’s over all per for mance. The fol low ingsug ges tions will re sult in op ti mum per for -mance.Proper place ment of the TR-300 can be crit i cal. The trail ing an ten nas should “dan gle” freely. “Wadding” the an ten nas up and plac ing themin a pocket, etc., will re duce sys tem dis tance.It is sug gested that the unit be worn on the beltor pocket with both an tenna’s hung ver ti callyfor best op er at ing range and per for mance.

The greater the dis tance, theweaker the sig nal. How ever, the portablesshould be a min i mum dis tance of 10 feet fromthe base sta tion and each other for best per for -mance.Make sure the “sig nal paths” be tween theBTR-300 and remotes are un ob structed.
