Whenever possible, try to maintain a line of sight between the radios and keep
the antennas parallel. Make sure they are not near any large metal, concrete, or
high water-content objects. People and trees are mostly water! Make sure they
are not blocked by these objects or by hills.
The Plus III Transceiver’s antenna is fairly omnidirectional and its orientation
should not signicantly impact performance in most shooting scenarios, but
optimizing for radio reception will always improve the maximum range.
Maintain at least 12” distance between antennas. Avoid direct antenna contact
with anything metallic. “Dead spots” have a number of causes, but the solution is
usually the same: move the radio a few inches or feet away from the problem area.

NOTE: Your PocketWizard radios use the environment as a medium for transmitting and receiving radio
signals. The performance of your radios depends on their placement in the environment, nearby radio
interference, and the radios’ orientation and position relative to each other.
