"Ideally the antenna should be fitted on the
bull bar of a vehicle..."
The antenna should be attached in a location that
provides the clearest line of site to the sky without
obstruction or interference. Ideally the antenna
should be fitted on the bull bar of a vehicle, if
available as most bull bars already have a fitting and
hole for this type of antenna, if not, then a suitable
hole or fixing plate will be required.
