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.
