34.1 Optional extras (if ordered)
3.5 Mounting the Receiver and Antenna
Mount the antenna in a clear position free from obstructions.
For some short term installations you can place the antenna upright
with the magnetic base on a flat metal surface.
35.1 Choosing a location
When choosing a location, consider the following:
Do mount the antenna:
on a flat surface along the centerline of the vessel.
in any convenient location within 15 meters (50 feet) of the
GPS receiver.
at the highest point of the vessel with no metal surfaces
blocking its view of the sky. Trimble recommends that you
position the antenna on the top of a mast or pole.
in such a way that it is not damaged when you sail under a
bridge.
Do not mount the antenna:
close to stays, electrical cables, metal masts, CB radio antennas,
cellular phone antennas, air-conditioning units, active TV
antennas, or machine accessory lights.
