• GPS antennas should NOT be mounted high up a mast, due to the effects of the boat ‘heeling’ on signal
reception.
• The
NAV-6
should be mounted at least 1 m (3 ft) away from devices that may cause interference, such as
motors, generators, VHF radio unitsand other transmitters/receivers.
• Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS signal.
• The location should be well away from an Inmarsat antenna. Inmarsat transmission will obstruct or prevent
reception of the GPS signal.
• Mount the
NAV-6
as high as possible to keep it free of interfering objects and water spray, which can obstruct
reception of the GPS signal if the water freezes.
• Pole mounting requires a pole with a 1 inch 14 TPI thread.
