This external aerial solves that without moving your caller station. The station stays on the visitor's side, where it is easy to reach, and the aerial goes on the back of the post, facing the building. If your intercom works close to the gate but drops out further away, and the post stands between the station and the handset, this is the first part to try.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt removes the first obstacle.\u003c\/strong\u003e Wireless range depends on a clear line of sight, and each solid object the signal passes through reduces it. Moving the aerial behind the post gives the signal a more direct route to the handset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is not an amplifier.\u003c\/strong\u003e Some sellers call this kind of part a booster, but it adds no power and will not push the system beyond its 600 metre line-of-sight range. It works by changing where the signal starts. If a large building blocks the route further on, this part will not cure that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFixing is simple.\u003c\/strong\u003e The right-angle bracket holds the aerial clear of the post, and the cable runs back to the caller station, where it joins with a screw connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour station stays where you want it.\u003c\/strong\u003e You do not have to compromise on a position for the visitor just to suit the radio signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteel or concrete-filled gate posts, brick and stone piers, palisade gate entrances at warehouses and factories, farm gateways, and long drives where a handset works at the house door but not inside the building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne aerial with bracket, cable and screw connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAerial length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBracket\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100mm deep x 60mm long\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 metres.
