Connecting The Antenna Rf Signal Cable To; The Receiver; (North American Systems Only) - KVH Industries TracVision R5 Owner's Manual

A Guide to TracVision R5/R4
When shipped from the factory, the
antenna's RF connectors are
protected with caps. Leave the cap
installed on the RF2 connector
unless you are going to connect a
second RF cable to the
TracVision R5/R4.
KVH recommends the use of
RG-6 or RG-11 (75 ohms) cable
for RF wiring. Use of non-RG-6
or RG-11 (75 ohms) cables will
result in degraded performance.
The KVH warranty does not cover
degraded performance due to
improper wiring.
