Satellite Signal Blocked
Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by buildings, other
vessels, or equipment on the vessel itself. Refer to
Best Location for the TracVision Antenna" on page 23
that the TracVision G8 antenna unit is in the optimal location.
Simply moving the vessel to clear an external obstruction will
also restore signal quality.
Satellite Coverage Issue
TracVision G8 will provide outstanding reception within the
32" (82 cm) antenna coverage area for your satellite television

approach the fringe coverage areas. Refer to your satellite
