sight from where you wish to mount the antenna, you  
mustdeterminehowyouaregoingtomounttheantenna  
and run your coax downlead to your receiver. Figure 3

antenna. You will need a compass and a protractor or  
another means of determining elevation. Remember  
that the antenna must have a clear line-of-sight to the  
satellites. See Figure 2. The satellite signal will NOT  
travel through buildings, heavy tree cover and other  
obstructions.
