Installation Mounting the Antenna The supplied antenna coupler fits a standard 1-inch Mounting the antenna mount (not included). Like the receiver, the Antenna antenna should be placed away from all sources of interference. As a general rule, mount the antenna at least three feet from all other antennas and the vessel’s electrical system components (alternator/ignition system). Position the antenna so that the clearest view in all directions is obtained. The antenna coupler is supplied with 30 f

Installation Connecting the GBR 21 To Your GPS Unit Connecting GBR and GPS The final step in installing the GBR 21 is to connect the receiver’s DATA IN, DATA OUT and GROUND (Return) lines to your GPS unit. The GBR 21 is designed to transmit/receive data at 4800 or 9600 baud (bits per second). The receiver defaults to 4800 baud, which is suitable for use with all GARMIN GPS receivers. The 9600 baud option is provided to allow the receiver to be used with some newer models and other manufacturer’s

Reference The DGPS Beacon Transmitter is placed at a known location (i.e., the exact position of the site has been DGPS: previously determined). At the beacon transmitter site, How It Works the GPS satellites are monitored using a GPS receiver. This receiver is equipped to calculate corrections for each satellite received. The correction is the difference between the distance to the satellite (from the beacon site) as measured by the GPS receiver, and the actual distance to the satellite based

The station power is Error normally set to provide a usable range somewhere near 300 km. Other factors such as local interference, lightning, time of day and season, and if the path to the station is over ground or water, and antenna selection or installation affect the usable signal range.

Reference Multipath— Multipath error occurs when the GPS signal is reflected before it reaches the GPS receiver. The Sources of reflected signal takes slightly longer to reach the GPS Error receiver than a non-reflected signal. This added time delay results in position error. (The distance to each satellite is calculated based upon the time it takes the GPS signal to reach the GPS receiver.) Multipath error can be minimized by mounting the GPS antenna at a location which minimizes the potential
