1 | INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing a A.N.T - Advanced Native Technologies - product!
In START 8 wireless systems we have put our passion and our technological background
gained over the years, to offer products that meet your needs, maintaining the quality
over time.
The use of the UHF band has become increasingly complex for radio systems due to
the presence of multiple devices working on these frequencies. The START 8 radio
systems operate in the VHF range and have 8 channels on each of three specific bands:
F1 174-184MHz / F2 190-200MHz / F3 206-216MHz.
The START 8 system is equipped with a technology that introduces a pilot tone together
with the analogue audio signal, ensuring a significant reduction of problems related to
interfering interferences. This allows you to cancel the classic problems of unwanted
opening of the squelch by the disturbances, as it happens with the normal systems,
facilitating the use for anyone.
Both version receivers implement the Diversity technology, i.e. the receivers have two
separate A/B antennas, used to select the best radio signal at any time. The antennas
are fixed on receiver frontal panel but can be placed in horizontal position by means of a
joint at their base. Please, dedicate some minutes to read this instruction manual in order
to quickly achieve the best performances from this product.
For safety precautions, warranty and disposal, please refer to attached Section 2.
