Since the TracVision antenna requires a clear view

of the southern sky to receive satellite signals, the

ideal antenna site has an unobstructed view of the

horizon/satellite all around.

•

Keep the antenna clear of any obstructions on the

roof (e.g., air conditioners).

15º to 75º look angle to receive satellite signals.
