See Appendix C for specific GNSS antenna mount installation instructions if you purchased an
antenna and mount from Alert Geomatics.
Installing the Radio Antenna
If your unit is equipped and configured to send information over radio, installing a radio antenna
is necessary. The radio antennas come in two flavors, Yagi and Omni antennas. Yagi antennas are
directional antennas and are best used when communicating with only one other radio. Omni
antennas are omni-directional antennas and are best used when a radio must communicate with
multiple devices.
Both Yagi and Omni radio antennas work on a line of sight basis, with a range up to seven
kilometers (4.3 miles) in ideal conditions. Mounting a radio antenna higher in general will allow
the radio antenna to transmit over more obstacles in the path between radios. If line of sight is
not possible between radios, NorthStars are perfect for relaying corrections over or around
obstacles and are not inhibited by the GNSS antenna mounting requirements.
Rovers equipped with radios only need Yagi antennas. Install the Yagi on a pole, or other high
point in a horizontal orientation, and point the Yagi to the nearest source of corrections. Poles
are advantageous for mounting as they allow 360 degrees of orientation. The smallest element
