1.5 SITE
SELECTION
In order to achieve maximum performance of your antenna system, it is important
to select the correct location for the antenna. The following guidelines should be
observed when selecting a site for the installation.
1.
The line of site to the satellite should be clear of any obstructions, such as
trees or buildings.
2.
The site should be relatively flat and level for ease of installation and
access to the antenna.
3.
The site should be checked for underground obstruction, such as buried
cables or pipes.
4.
All local building codes should be adhered to (i.e. grounding, foundation
requirements, zoning rules, setbacks, etc.).
