Page 9: Antenna
RaceGrade Notes Antenna • GPS signals are easily blocked by electrical noise, especially in the 1.5 to 1.6GHz range where GPS signals are transmitted. Keep the antenna more than 6” from any other antennas such as car-to-pit voice radios, telemetry and other GPS antennas. •... -
Page 10: Loss Of Signal
RaceGrade Notes Loss of Signal As mentioned earlier, the antenna must see as many satellites as possible. The antenna should have a clear view of the sky, ideally a clear line of sight to the sky down to 5 degrees above the horizon. If part of the sky is blocked by a building, tree or bridge then the GPS unit will loose track of those satellites being blocked. -
