Satellite Signal Blocked
Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by buildings, other
vessels, or equipment on the vessel itself. Refer to
Best Location for the TracVision Antenna” on page 23
that the TracVision G8 antenna unit is in the optimal location.
Simply moving the vessel to clear an external obstruction will
also restore signal quality.
Satellite Coverage Issue
TracVision G8 will provide outstanding reception within the
32" (82 cm) antenna coverage area for your satellite television
service of choice. However, signal quality can be degraded as you
approach the fringe coverage areas. Refer to your satellite
television service manual to check the viable coverage area for a
32" (82 cm) antenna.
Radar Interference
The energy levels radiated by radar units can overload the
antenna’s front-end circuits. Refer to
for the TracVision Antenna” on page 23
TracVision G8 antenna unit is in the optimal location with regard
to your radar unit.
Satellite Frequency Data Changed
If some channels work, while one or more other channels do not,
or the antenna cannot find the satellite, the selected satellite’s
frequency data may have changed. To update this frequency
data, refer to
“Updating Satellite Frequency Data” on page 74
Incorrect or Loose RF Connectors
As part of preventive maintenance (described in
“Preventive Maintenance,” on page 93
the antenna unit’s cable connections. A loose RF connector can
reduce the signal quality. In addition, if you are unable to switch
satellites using your IRD remote, make sure that your IRD’s RF
cable is connected to the antenna’s RF1 baseplate connector (see
Section 2.3, “Connecting the IRD(s),” on page 31
