Determining a Location for the Repeater
Determining a Location for the Repeater
The repeater must be placed in a location that is within line-of-sight of both the Base Station and the vehicle. The exact
location of a repeater does not affect job repeatability. The Base Station’s GPS Antenna is always the reference position for
repeatability. Figure 6-1 shows a common repeater-Base Station setup in a typical field. Alternate configurations are described
later in this chapter.
