Site Selection
Determine the optimum mounting location for the antenna radome assembly. It should
be installed where:
1. The antenna has a clear line-of-sight of as much of the sky as is practical. Choose a
location where masts or other structures do not block the satellite signal from the dish as
the boat turns.
2. The antenna is at least 5m away from other transmitting antennae (HF, VHF and
radar) which may generate signals with the potential to interfere with the VS series antenna.
The further away the VS series antenna is from these other antenna, the less likely is it to
be affected by their operation.
3. The antenna radome assembly should be rigidly mounted on the boat. If necessary,
reinforce the mounting area to assure that it does not flex due to the boat’s motion or
vibration.
