As far as possible from reflective objects, especially
those that are above the antenna and any water bodies,
which can be a strong source of multipath reflections
If obstructions and reflective surfaces are within 30 m,
ensure the site is as high as possible. Otherwise, mount
the antenna as low as possible.
4. Attach the male TNC (or N-Type) connector of the coaxial
cable to the antenna’s TNC connector (N-Type for GPS-702-
GG-N).

1. Verify that the thread on the mount does not extend more
than 7/8" (22 mm) to ensure the plastic inside the antenna
receptacle is not damaged when the mount is inserted. If it
extends further than 7/8" (22 mm), add two jam nuts to
shorten the exposed thread, ensuring the nuts are well-tight-
ened.

securely screwed to the mount. Using a wrench, tighten the
adapter to the mount.

ANTENNA CARE
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
The GPS-702-GG, GPS-701-GG and GPS-702-GG-N are
designed to withstand the elements, including rain, snow, and
dust. However, to ensure your antenna performs optimally, keep
the radome (top surface of the antenna) clean and brush off any
ice and snow. In addition, ensure the TNC (or N-Type) connector
remains clean and dry and replace the dust cap when a cable is
not connected.
The equipment listed below is required to set up the GPS-702-
GG, GPS-701-GG or GPS-702-GG-N antenna:
