Mounting the Receiver and Antenna
Mount the antenna in a clear position free from obstructions.
For some short term installations you can place the antenna upright
with the magnetic base on a flat metal surface.
35.1
Choosing a location
When choosing a location, consider the following:
Do mount the antenna:
• on a flat surface along the centerline of the vessel.
• in any convenient location within 15 meters (50 feet) of the
GPS receiver.
• at the highest point of the vessel with no metal surfaces
blocking its view of the sky. Trimble recommends that you
position the antenna on the top of a mast or pole.
• in such a way that it is not damaged when you sail under a
bridge.
Do not mount the antenna:
• close to stays, electrical cables, metal masts, CB radio antennas,
cellular phone antennas, air-conditioning units, active TV
antennas, or machine accessory lights.
