
Offsets to the GNSS antennas must be measured by a competent person
to ensure no errors are introduced to the DP, Survey or Navigation
systems.

Care must be taken to ensure that antennas are not installed in the direct
path of Radar transmissions, Inmarsat-B Dome transmissions, VSAT
transmissions or high power HF whip/wire antenna.
