3.6 Install a scanner on a trestle
Depending on your chosen location for the scanner, it may be easier to install the scanner if you
fabricate a trestle (or radar mast) on which you can mount the scanner.
The trestle must be sturdy and secure, and capable of supporting the scanner in all weather
conditions.
You are recommended to install the base of the trestle parallel to the water surface.
