5.5 Use of KIRK Repeater With External Antenna
If radio coverage between a base station and a repeater is not needed, it is possible to
synchronize between the radio units using a repeater with external antenna.

with external Antenna
The distance from the repeaters without external antenna to the base station must
correspond to a RSSI loss of maximum 25dB.
Be aware that inside the area named “radio link” there is no radio coverage, and
therefore a wireless handset cannot be used in this area.
The distance between the base station and the repeater with external antenna depends on
the type of antenna used as well as on the signal attenuation created by surroundings
such as buildings, trees, etc.
5.5.1 Synchronization Ways
The repeater with external antenna, 4 channels, can be programmed to obtain
synchronization on two radio units (base station, wireless server or repeater).
If a situation occurs where the primary sync for some reason breaks down, the repeater
will obtain sync on the alternative sync.
Be aware that the primary sync has priority; the alternative sync is only in use as long as
the primary sync is down.
