Thanks.

Assume this means that we should base any decision to relocate antennas on the actual % of time the antenna was selected instead of the % time the RSSI was strongest, right?

Also, when looking from the top of the receiver, left to right, which one is antenna #1 and which one is #2?

Thanks,
Edgar

Hi Edgar,
The decision to change an antenna location can be based on several criteria. The surroundings (weather) can be different from one day to another and have an effect on how antennas behaves. Don't forget that you used to only have one antenna and having two now installed as reccomended you will have a better coverage to begin with. With a range check you get the best answers on the setup, as it gives you a good controlable feedback especially at the end of the range at the instant and you can then also compare it to the SD-card data to confirm your observations.

The antenna on the side of the SD-card slot is Antenna #1 and the one on the side of the battery outlets is Antenna #2.

Thanks,

Gerhard
