I have been getting conflicting advice about relative position in
regard to my radar dome. Both will be mounted on my mast about 12 to
24 inches apart. I have a choice of having the GPS right below the
bottom of the dome or I could put an extension and have it extend a
few inches above the dome. Any advice?
Thanks
Bob
Either is fine, as long as the GPS antenna is clearly outside of the
radar beam. (Although on a previous boat, an ancient GPS
antenna/receiver was mounted about a foot from a 4 KW radar scanner,
right in the beam, with no apparent problems.)
