Mounting of antennas

I had a "roll bar" build to go over the centre console.

The platform on top is about 400mm x 200mm.

There is enough space for the anchor light, GPS antenna, VHF antenna and 29Mhz antenna.

Can I fit it all thereon or do they need to be a certain distance from each other?

I have a VHF and 29 Meg radio antenna close to each other and I have no problem. I would suggest putting them at the extremes but it will work fine.

Thanks, Bennie!

I aslo do not have currently a problem, the two antennas about 20cm apart, but the GPS receiver is more than 500mm away.

Thanks to Johnno for your PM, the GPS receiver should not interfere!

I am going to fit the antennas on either side of the receiver and move it again if there extreme interferance.

I have my 29 meg and VHF about mounted on either side of my center consol. About 600 - 700 mil apart. I have my find and GPS mounted between these and have zero problems.

Nice boat Kingfish77.

Patrys, daar is nou die cat wat jy moet kry, ek dink dit is dieselfde as Bulkcarrier se nuwe boot.
