2.3 MOUNTING THE OPTIONAL EXTERNAL GPS ANTENNA
An external WAAS GPS antenna is available when the CPF180i or CPF300i is flush
mounted or mounted in an area where satellite reception is not possible with the internal
antenna.This antenna is designed to be mounted on a base, installed on an extension or
flush mounted.
Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky and is not located within
3 FT of Radar or other transmitting antennas. Ensure there are no major obstructions or
fixtures in the immediate proximity to the antenna. The antenna relies on direct “line of sight”
satellite reception. If you are unsure of the chosen location, temporarily mount the antenna
in the desired location to verify correct operation. If mounted close to Radar, after the GPS
Chart Plotter has a fix, turn on the Radar to ensure the GPS Chart Plotter holds the fix (use
the GPS Status Page).
