Has anyone tried one of these on a boat yet?
WMJ Marine looks like they have a halfway decent price on them: http://store.wmjmarine.com/c28286.html |

Come to think of it, a lot of the bigger RV's I see around here all have the gyro stabilized systems with the big domes. I heard about these. It's a new receiver/dish technology that is supposed to work in moving vehicles. Wayne's link is the first time I've seen one. If it even works half-assed in a moving car, it should work decent on a boat, I would think. Eisboch |

Come to think of it, a lot of the bigger RV's I see around here all have the gyro stabilized systems with the big domes. If that's the case then how do sat phones, GPS receivers, and satellite radio receivers work? GPS uses several satellites positioned in different parts of the sky. I know the TV dishes have to be reasonably close or they lose their reception. This is from the link... " ** TracVision A7 provides full in-motion reception of satellite TV signals on open roads with a clear view of the TV satellite in the southern sky while in the continental U.S." Dan |
