Third in our ongoing series of wireless system tips from Sales Engineer/wireless expert Jeff Barnett:
If you’re using a beltpack with an external antenna, make sure that the antenna isn’t wadded up or bent when wearing it. Not only is this bad for the antenna (bend a wire enough times, and it’s sure to break), but it severely impairs its transmission. You’ll end up with limited range and more dropouts with a wadded-up antenna.
