radr and sat tv antenna

Post by top dog »

Ok guys Pete the dummy here again. I am wishing to install a sat tv (kvhm3) antenna on my 33 bert and i have a furuno dome on my hard top . If you can zoom in on my picture on the pics page you can notice that my radar dome is elevated on a built in raised platform on my top. My question is do i have to raise my sat. tv antenna above the radar or does my radar dome need to be above the sat.tv anten. or should i mount it on one of the corners of my hard top. Thanx in advance...Pete

Pete, I think you're best bet would to be to contact KVH to see what they recommend. I'd be surprised if their manual didn't address that issue. Most of the sat setups I've seen (my brother's 45 Viking included) have the sat at the highest possible location on the boat.
