2.1 Choosing the Best Location
• Since the TracVision antenna requires a clear view
of the southern sky to receive satellite signals, the
ideal antenna site has an unobstructed view of the
horizon/satellite all around.
• Keep the antenna clear of any obstructions above
decks. The antenna requires a 15º to 75º look angle
to receive satellite signals.
• The closer the antenna reference is aligned with
the vessel’s centerline, the smaller the pool of
tracking errors will be.
• Place the antenna unit as close as possible to the
intersection of the vessel’s fore-and-aft centerline
and midships.
