2.1.3 GPS Antenna
The GPS antenna connector is located on the end of the
TAG-T3 unit.
GPS signals require “line of sight”, thus the GPS antenna (see
should be installed in a place where it has the best view of the sky
available. As a rule of thumb, materials that are not electrically
conductive, glass, cardboard, plastic, rubber etc, will not affect the GPS
signals. Materials that are conductive will totally block the signals.
Remember that metallic paints, window tinting, demister elements and
“in glass” antennas may all have an effect.

2.1.4 TRX Antenna
The TRX antenna used to communicate with the unit is located next to
the GPS antenna connector. It should be positioned with as little metal
around it as possible. Placement of the
TAG-T3 should allow the
TRX antenna to be in as good a position as achievable, allowing as
near to line of sight as possible. Also keep in mind that metallic paints
and metal vehicle components can all affect the TRX signal.
