When selecting an antenna location for the TRK-SR2, make sure the
proposed site meets the following conditions:

a. The selected site must have a conductive surface area (e.g., metal or

aluminum roof) of at least 2-1⁄4 square feet and be 6 inches from
rear window molding.

b. Line of sight to satellites must not blocked by any metal obstructions

(e.g., crossbars from a roof rack).

c. Choose the highest possible location on the vehicle’s roof that satisfies

the above conditions and is as flat as possible.

Although a center position on a roof is the most aesthetically pleasing, if
there is an obstruction (e.g., skid ribs, protruding brake light on roof line,
etc.) consider offsetting the TRK-SR2 from the center. If this doesn’t work,
use the Terk TRK-SR1 Glass-Mount Satellite Radio Antenna instead.
