ƒ Making Your Selections
7.1 Determining the Required Gain
ƒ Identify the unobstructed distance between RadioLinx antennas from the
table.
ƒ Find the row that corresponds to the distance between the antennas.
ƒ Find the Link Gain in the appropriate row. The Net dB is based upon an
antenna installed at a 16 foot (5 meters) height.
ƒ For example, if the unobstructed distance between RadioLinx devices is 5
miles (8 km), the Net dB required is 19 dB.
