Weather-Proofing GPS Antenna Connections
Weather-proofing all the GPS antenna connections is mandatory.
Procedure:
1

Postrequisites:
Ensure that the connectors are completely weather-sealed.
NOTICE:
RF connectors of the front mount antenna arrive pre-connected. Weather-proofing is
best done at this stage to give easier access to the connectors.
