4.3 Fit GPS Antenna to AirSynergy
Note: AirSynergy units without a factory fitted Switched Beam Antenna all require
a GPS antenna which comes in a kit with a mounting bracket and a 25cm cable.
A prime consideration for a GPS antenna is a clear view of the sky, preferably
360 degrees
4.3.1 Fit the GPS antenna to the mounting bracket supplied in the GPS antenna mounting kit. The
large back nut should be tightened with a pipe wrench. Take care not to over tighten on the plastic
threads.

4.3.2 Fit the short TNC to TNC cable from the GPS antenna to the TNC connector on the top of the
AirSynergy
Note: For extreme weather conditions weather-proofing of the TNC connections is recommended.
This is done with a layer of self-amalgamating tape followed by an over layer of PVC tape. The
weather-proofing is best done at this stage to give easier access to the connections
