15 CHC i83 User Manual
Bad Antennas
The UHF antennas on most GNSS equipment get beat around quite a bit.
If you suspect that your antenna has gone bad, we recommend that you purchase two spare antennas and change out
both your Base and Rover. If the problem goes away, then you know that one (or perhaps both) of your original
antennas have failed.
We recommend that you
not
use ¼ wavelength antennas:
They require a ground plane at the Base of the antenna and have significantly (about 1/3) the range of the ½ wavelength
dipole antennas we supply. iGage has both factory replacement and heavy-duty super gain antennas available:
