How and when to use your Moxon Antenna or T Antenna

MOXON Antenna
The Moxon directional antenna is intended for long range and has a more narrow field of operation. It is important to keep the Moxon antenna pointed in the general direction of your aircraft.
Antenna polarization: vertical/horizontal polarization

T Antenna
The T Antenna is an omnidirectional antenna. It is intended for short to medium range and is suitable for most conditions.
Antenna polarization: vertical/horizontal polarization
