• Make sure the mounting surface is wide
enough to accommodate the antenna’s base
(see Figure 5). Also make sure it is flat, level
(within ±1°), strong enough to support the
antenna’s weight (approx. 93.5 lbs, 42.3 kg),
and rigid enough to prevent antenna
vibration.
• Select a location that is as close as possible to
the intersection of the vessel’s fore-and-aft
centerline and midships.
• Be sure to mount the antenna near enough to
the TV-Hub to allow you to connect the 100 ft
(30 m) coax cables between them, while still
maintaining sufficient service loops in the
cables.
NOTE:
If you need to use a longer cable, use a RG-11
(75
) cable that does not exceed 200 ft (60 m) in
length (see
“Prepare the RF Cables” on page 8
).
