NAV-6

  

GPS Marine Antenna

Operator’s manual

ed. 1.2013

Overview

NAV-6 is an active GPS and GLONASS antenna especially designed for the 

marine environment. It combines the high performance GPS patch antenna 

and  a  27  dB  low  noise  amplifier  (at  5V  DC)  into  a  compact  waterproof 

antenna with exclusive design.

NAV-6 enables the required GPS function for AIS systems, chartplotters, and 

other navigational devices, and helps boost the reception signal to the GPS 

unit, especially when the GPS receiver doesn’t have a good view of the sky. 

NAV-6 minimizes temporary loss of signal during navigation and maintains 

the  best  possible  accuracy  by  having  a  lock  on  the  greatest  number  of 

satellites.

NAV-6 is supplied with deck mount, mounting set and a 15 m RG58 cable 

with TNC male connectors. Standard 1” x 14 threads for pole mounting.
