Choosing the Best Location
•
Since the TracVision antenna requires a clear view
of the southern sky to receive satellite signals, the
ideal antenna site has an unobstructed view of the
horizon/satellite all around.
•
Keep the antenna clear of any obstructions on the
roof (e.g., air conditioners).
The antenna requires a
15º to 75º look angle to receive satellite signals.
•
Consider the location of the antenna relative to the
location of any equipment or necessary wiring
within the vehicle.
•
For best operation, mount the antenna on a
horizontal surface.
