2.8 Configuring TracVision L3/S3 for
Remote Satellite Dish Operation
In some campground locations, dense foliage will block the
satellite signal. In these situations, a remote portable antenna
may be the only solution to satellite signal reception.
The wiring option for the remote dish is very simple and should
be installed when the TracVision L3/S3 is installed. A high-
quality “A/B switch” should be used to change from
TracVision L3/S3 dish reception to remote antenna operation.
The recommended wiring arrangement for remote dish operation
is illustrated in Figure 2-21.
