3.6 AntennaandRadioInstallation
It is critically important during installation to ensure the
radios on each side of the link are in the same polarization
(horizontalhorizontal or verticalvertical). A link that has a
radioononesideofthelinksetinthehorizontalpolarization
and the other side of the link set in the vertical polarization
willnotoperateproperly.
