Installation
Remote GPS Antenna
The GPSCOM 190 includes a GARMIN GA 27
remote GPS antenna which can be used to enhance satel
lite reception. Simply plug the “MCX” male connector on
the end of the GA 27 cable into the socket located on the
side of the GPSCOM 190. Place the antenna in view of
satellites, and the system is ready for operation, The
GA 27 can be mounted using the suction cup mount,
w^hich is included with the antenna. When mounting,
you must ensure that the antenna’s location provides an
unobstructed view of much of the sky This is critical to
allow the antenna to “see” at least four satellites in order
to compute your position and track your flight.
To use the suction cup mount:
1.
Attach the suction cup mount to the bottom of the GA 27
antenna using the two flat head screws (provided).
Position the antenna as low as possible on the wind
shield to maximize satellite visibility and not obstruct
your view of the sky.
2.
The suction cup mount can be adjusted to compensate
for aircraft windshields of varying angles. The adjust
ment is made by rotating the large suction cup until the
proper angle for mounting is obtained.
