Rule 4: Cable loss increase is insignificant compared to the potential
improvement when antenna height is increased.
 For all practical purposes, your
antenna can never be too high.
Rule 5: The two (diversity) receive antennas should be at least 3 feet apart.
 In
fact, some locations benefit from even wider spacing if a LOS path is established
from at least one of the antennas to all points in the room.
* Note:  Reply keypads built after March 1999 have roughly 2X the range compared to pre-
3/99 units. The above ranges are based on post-3/99 units.
These rules lead to some conclusions:
a) Smaller rooms (25 to 50 ft range) can get by with antennas set just about
anywhere. See Figure 3
b) To cover medium size rooms raise the antennas up. The 6 to 8 ft level should
cover to about 100 ft, depending on how complex the environmenmt is. See
Figure 4.
c) For very large rooms the antennas should be on booms (like a MIC stand) or
set in the catwalk, etc. See Figure 5.
