- If you unplug the cable from the outdoor antenna, make sure to reset the GO G41.
The GO G41 will start scanning as soon as you unplug the cable to the outdoor antenna. To
make sure it scans all frequencies, restart the unit after you reconnect the cable.
- If you have extra cable, don’t coil it tightly.
If you have extra cable, make sure to keep any cable loops as large as possible to minimize
negative side-effects (4 ft or wider loops are best).
- Use the gauges shown at the top of the Activity tab.
After you’ve optimized the outdoor antenna location using the Antenna Position Test, use
the gauges at the top of the Activity tab to keep eyes on what the GO G41 is doing, and
potentially to further optimize your signal.
If you got the GO G41 kit that includes a Grid Parabolic outdoor antenna
, you'll need to
spend a little more time aiming it, to get it dialled in just right.
We included a short guide on assembling and aiming the Grid Parabolic antenna, in your kit.
Read that before trying to aim the antenna, to make sure you understand how precise you'll
need to be. You can also find that online at
waveform.com/griddy
.
When you're ready to start aiming,
follow the steps in section 5
above, using the included Log Periodic antenna
to find the best
general direction to aim your antenna.
Once you've found the general direction
using the Log Periodic
antenna,
switch to the Grid Parabolic and move it in very small
increments to aim it precisely
.
If you don't already have a Grid Parabolic Antenna, and you
have direct line of sight to the nearest tower (no obstructions,
including trees), you may be able to
increase your signal quality
and strength even further by upgrading your outdoor antenna
