KVH recommends the use of
RG-6 or RG-11 (75 ohms) cable
for RF wiring. Use of non-RG-6
or RG-11 (75 ohms) cables will
result in degraded performance.
The KVH warranty does not cover
degraded performance due to
improper wiring.
When shipped from the factory, the
antenna's RF connectors are
protected with caps. Leave the cap
installed on the RF2 connector
unless you are going to connect a
second RF cable to the
TracVision S2.
