Antenna location
Choose a location that has an unhindered view of the satellite at the point of lowest
elevation. Ideally, a location should be chosen as close to the vessel's centre as
possible while keeping cable lengths to a minimum.
If the antenna is placed on a pedestal, care must be taken that it does not flex
or vibrate.
The satellite TV antenna's LNB is equipped with a radar filter but to avoid damage
to the LNB it is strongly advised that it should not be placed in the path of a radar beam.
It must not be placed in the path of a VSAT antenna.
