    It's like plug and play.  Use the quick start handout.  Plug both the transceiver and the PG into your Network.  Only other connection is transceiver to radio a or b and antenna to the same output as the transceiver a or b.  Really very easy.

    correct.  Depending on your antenna separation, you may need isolation filters if you intend on operating full duplex.. give it a shot and see how it works.
