8.1 Antenna Location
The antenna is one of the most important components of a radio receiving system. Proper placement of the
receiver antenna ensures reliable operation under the most severe conditions. A direct “line-of-sight” path
between the transmitter antenna and receiver antenna provides the best performance. Refer to Figure 5.
Figure 5: Transmitter/Receiver Communication (Example)
In most cases, the antenna may be mounted directly on the receiver enclosure. In determining the mounting
location, the following items should be considered:
• The antenna should be mounted vertically.
• For optimum performance, the antenna itself should have a minimum of eight inches of clearance in all
directions, excluding the wall or plate to which the receiver cabinet is mounted (refer to Figure 6). If the
receiver enclosure location is not suitable to provide this clearance and the antenna should be mounted
at a remote location, the Cattron Remote Antenna Mounting Kit should be used. Contact Cattron at
