Rackmount the Units
Install the TRACER MPS system in a location that requires minimal antenna feedline length (the loss in this cable directly affects
overall system performance). The TRACER MPS should be mounted in a rack between the two BBP components of the TRACER systems
(see Figure 1 on page 2). Although no space is needed between the units, certain regulations may require at least 0.75” of space above
and below each BBP.
