Antenna Mounting
The antenna supplied is of the active type, and is suitable for almost all
applications. It is supplied with a pre-attached, 1-meter RG58 cable,
terminated with a male TNC connector. Before commencing
installation, check that all the items detailed in the contents list have
been supplied. The antenna is supplied with two O-type mounting
clamps for attachment to a mounting pole. Figure 2-2 shows an
example of how this might be achieved.
When mounting the antenna, ensure the antenna has a clear view of
the horizon and is at least 2 meters away from transmission sources
which may interfere with reception. Avoid the direct path of any
microwave links. Using the C-MAP software and the GTU check that the
S/N ratio is at least 33.dB and that at least 4 satellites are in view with
this minimum S/N signal. If you do not get these results check another
antenna position.
