External Radio Antenna Connector

The antennas for the receivers internal UHF radio (and optional cellular modem) connect to the BNC or
reverse TNC external antenna connector located under the HiPer V housing (Figure 6).
The optimal modem antenna depends on the frequency of the UHF radio that is installed in the receiver:

Figure6:UHFAntenna

UHF: Uses a BNC RF connection and comes in two versions:

410-440Hz (30-070003-01)
440-470Hz (30-050503-01)
FH915: Uses a reverse TNC RF connection [p/n: 30-030012-01 (ANTENNA, RUBBER DUCK 915
RTNC)]
Cellular Antenna: Sold separately (p/n: 1001313-01 ANTENNA, 1/2 WAVE, QUAD BAND W/TNC-ToBNC adapter)
