6.1.3.1 GPS Antenna
When selecting a mounting location for the antenna, keep in mind the following points.
1. Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of
the GPS satellite signal.
2. There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects within the
line-of-sight to a satellite, for example a mast, may block reception or prolong acquisition time.
3. Mount the antenna unit as high as possible to keep it free of interfering objects and water
spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if the water freezes.
6.1.3.1.1 GPS Globe Antenna
MX535B is delivered as standard with GPS globe antenna
(P/N AN156). The stainless steel stand and antenna coax
cable with TNC connectors in both ends for direct
connection between transponder and antenna are not
