Configuring TracVision S2 for
Remote Satellite Dish Operation
In some campground locations, dense foliage will block the
satellite signal. In these situations, a remote portable antenna
may be the only solution to satellite signal reception.  
The wiring option for the remote dish is very simple and 
should be installed when the TracVision S2 is installed.  A
high-quality “A/B switch” should be used to change from
TracVision to remote antenna operation. The recommended
wiring arrangement for remote dish operation is illustrated in 
Figure 2-18.
