SITING CONSIDERATIONS

4-1.1
Compass Accuracy
The WEATHERPAK
any compass, an error will be created if it is located too close (laterally) to a large mass of steel or
other magnetic material. (In other words, on top of a vehicle is OK, but next to it is not an ideal
location). Try to place the WEATHERPAK
(vehicles, steel buildings, etc).
Wind Speed and Direction Accuracy
4-1.2
Select a site that is as exposed as possible. Structures, trees, terrain, etc. will disrupt the wind flow
for a considerable distance. For example, if the WEATHERPAK
your vehicle and the wind is coming from the South, erroneous wind direction and speed data will
result.
4-1.3
Radio Transmission Issues
Locate the WEATHERPAK
UHF radio has a range of 5 to 7 miles
structures containing steel, or through hills, so try to position the WEATHERPAK

This distance assumes ideal conditions. Reception range will vary depending on radio signal path.
