Installation Guide

10
Finding the best location for the outdoor antenna is the most important part of the install. In
this section, we explain the simplest method for positioning and aiming. Section 12 covers
some more advanced information you can use to optimize your signal further. If you've got
the upgraded Grid Parabolic Antenna, refer to section 13 for how to aim it.
The Goal
Your aim is to  nd the best location and direction for the outdoor antenna that maximizes
signal strength and in particular, signal quality, for the frequency bands available in your area.
Set up the GO X as a Signal Meter
If you have a long power extension cable, we
recommend taking the GO X outside with you and
using the 5 ft cable and Log Periodic Antenna in
the kit to set up the GO X as “signal meter.”
Here are all the parts you’ll be using:
Don’t have a long power extension cable? Keep the GO X indoors near a power socket, and
use the 30 ft coax cable included in the kit to take the outdoor antenna outside. Everything
will be the same as the diagram above, except you'll use the 30 ft coax cable instead of the 5
ft jumper.
Finding the best outdoor antenna location without a power extension cable is a little bit
harder. You won’t easily be able to stay connected to the GO X via Bluetooth, so you may
need a second person near the booster watching the Wave app as you take signal readings.
