• Place the antennas as far apart as possible.
• Alternate the mounting of directional antennas for vertical and
horizontal polarization (figures on the following pages illustrate
mounting for
vertical
polarization).
Mounting the Directional Antenna 4
You can mount the RoamAbout 14-dBi Directional Antenna on a
