Panel configuration consist of a line section complete with two QC-type N (female) connectors to insert in the coxial transmission line.
The RF monitoring system can protect your transmitting equipment from damage and loss of air time when faults cause high-standing waves. It can warn a remote operator of low power due to detuning, component deterioration, or AC line difficulties and high reflected power due to factors such as antenna icing, transmission line problems, physical accidents and lighting strikes.
