Since the dual-output LNB is now standard, the following sidebar note
no longer applies:
1.2.1 TracVision SA Components
The Antenna Unit includes the antenna positioning mechanism,
signal front end, power supply and control elements. These
include antenna drive controls and mechanisms, the cable wrap
subassembly, power conditioning and regulating circuits, and the
RF detector. The antenna is a parabolic dish mounting a
dual-
output
low noise block (LNB) converter with built-in
preamplifier. A molded ABS radome encloses the baseplate and is
secured in place with standard fasteners. Liquid-tight
(watertight) fittings located on the back of the baseplate join the
power, signal, and control cabling from units inside the vehicle.

Connecting the Antenna Unit
TracVision SA Cable Ports
In a dual-output LNB configuration, cable port #1 can be used to
connect a second RF cable (when connecting multiple IRDs and TVs to
the system).
Figure 2-14 shows the antenna unit’s exterior baseplate cable
ports, consisting of two RF connectors (ports #1 and #4) and two
liquid-tight fittings (ports #2 and #3). Figure 2-15 shows the
interior baseplate wiring. Refer to these figures when connecting
cables to the antenna unit.

TracVision SA is equipped with a
single-port Low Noise Block (LNB)
that can provide signals to a single
IRD. Should you wish to equip your
vehicle with multiple TVs and IRDs,
a dual-port LNB is available as an
option (KVH Part Number 19-0056).
