Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 3.1.4. Installing the GPS Antenna The correct installation of a GPS antenna is crucial to the operation of the trans- ponder because the internal transmission synchronization relies on the accuracy of the time signal obtained from the GPS. It is recommended that a high quality GPS antenna be purchased from an established source and that all manufactures instruc- tions be followed with particular attention to cable routing and connector installation. -
