Crestron SRD-ANT-1LD-PAK Antenna System Antenna System: SRD-ANT-1LD-PAK Introduction The SRD-ANT-1LD-PAK is a high quality outdoor antenna system designed for use ® ® with a single Crestron XM or SIRIUS satellite radio tuner. The inclusion of an SRD-AMP-1 High Gain Line Amplifier allows the antenna to be positioned up to 350 feet (cable length) from the tuner, using standard RG-6 cable (not included). The antenna features a considerably narrower beam width compared to standard consumer
