Antenna Mounting Considerations
You can mount the antenna on a flat surface or attach it to a standard 1 in. OD, 14 threads per inch,
pipe-threaded pole (not included). You can route the cable outside of the pole or through the pole. For best
performance, consider these guidelines when selecting the antenna mounting location.
• To ensure the best reception, the antenna should be mounted in a location that has a clear, unobstructed
view of the sky in all directions .
• The antenna should not be mounted where it is shaded by the superstructure of the boat , a radome
antenna, or the mast.
• The antenna should not be mounted near the engine or other sources of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
.
• If a radar is present, the antenna should be mounted above the path of the radar . If necessary, the antenna
may be mounted below the path of the radar .
• The antenna should not be mounted directly in the path of the radar .
