5-in-1 antenna location requirements

The supplied 5-in-1 antenna must be mounted in a location that provides a clear unobstructed view of the sky.

Location requirements5-in-1 antenna

Ensure that the selected mounting location is:

  • Open and clear of any obstructions (such as masts, search lights, or other structures) that could block line-of-sight to the sky.

  • As low as possible, to keep the antenna as stable as possible. The more stable the antenna, the more effectively it will track satellites and provide stable data.

  • As far as possible (at least 1 m (3 ft)) from other antennas and electronic equipment.

Do NOT mount the antenna:

  • In any area where it could be stepped on or tripped over.

  • Up a mast. This will cause the antenna to swing and give significant errors in position data.

  • In the direct path of a Radar beam.
