7 If a problem is found, try altering the location of the unit or wiring. Often moving the antenna a few feet away fr om the source of interfer ence will solve the problem. When a suitable configuration is found, a permanent installation should be made. The GBR 21 may be mounted on any flat surface. Select the mounting location according to your pr[...]

8 Mounting the Antenna The supplied antenna coupler fits a standard 1-inch antenna mount (not included). Like the receiver , the antenna should be placed away from all sour ces of interference. As a general rule, mount the antenna at least three feet fr om all other antennas and the vessel’ s electrical system components (alternator/ignition syst[...]

15 • The range of a DGPS beacon transmitter (see the accompanying Beacon Reference Car d) is typically a few hundred miles, or less. Beyond this range, the beacon signal cannot be reliably r eceived. • Interference to the beacon signal can be experi- enced during periods of thunderstorm activity . Other sour ces of static interference, such as [...]

16 Reference Sources of Error Multipath — Multipath error occurs when the GPS signal is reflected before it r eaches the GPS receiver . The reflected signal takes slightly longer to reach the GPS receiver than a non-reflected signal. This added time delay results in position err or . (The distance to each satellite is calculated based upon the ti[...]
