Since the TracVision antenna requires a clear view

of the southern sky to receive satellite signals, the

horizon/satellite all around.

• Keep the antenna clear of any obstructions above

decks. The antenna requires a 15º to 75º look angle

to receive satellite signals.

intersection of the vessel's fore-and-aft centerline

and midships.
