Integrated Dvbt Amplifier - Weatherdock easyTRX2S Handbuch

Why do I need an own GPS antenna?
Every Class B Transceiver needs an own GPS antenna for position fix
and time synchronizing. With this integrated antenna there are no
needs to install an external GPS antenna.
As the time needs to be very accurate to know when an available
timeslot is starting and ending, it is only able by an own GPS antenna
with raw data. Data coming from the NMEA network are not that
accurate and cannot used due the international standards also.
Mount the easyTRX2S with IGPS on your map table with view to the
sky. We get a good reception beneath it. If you are not sure where you
should fix the unit just try it before. To do this please program MMSI,
ship name, call sign in the unit. If you connect then power and VHF
antenna the easyTRX2S with IGPS should go to "All OK" and the green
LED illuminate.
You also can see, if the GPS reception is good, within the programming
tool under "Diagnostic" and "TRX Status" within the line "Satellites in
view/used".
Value of used satellites should be alsways > then 4.
Following points could create a bad GPS reception:
• Cable on the top of internal GPS antenna within 30cm
• Boat with metal
• Windows with a thin metal surface on it.
If you try everything and there is also no GPS reception of course you
are able to mount also an external antenna to it.
