to set up the GPS-534. (NovAtel GPS receivers provide the
necessary power through their antenna RF connectors.)

The GPS-534 is designed to withstand the elements, including
rain, snow, and dust. However, to ensure your antenna performs
optimally, keep the radome clean and brush off any ice and
snow. In addition, ensure the TNC connector remains clean and
dry and replace the dust cap when a cable is not connected.
Designed to meet these
