Question 1 of 27070

What immediate remedy can be used to correct shadowing of the satellite signal by a shipboard obstruction?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Line-of-sight requirements for satellite communication and GPS antennas • Difference between temporary ship maneuvers and permanent equipment changes • How power levels and receiver gain affect signal quality vs physical blockage

💭 Think About

• Is the problem caused by the signal being too weak, or by something physically blocking the signal path? • Which option could you apply immediately without major modifications to the ship or electronics? • Which action directly restores a clear line of sight between the antenna and the satellite?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether the obstruction is physical (e.g., mast, funnel, crane) in the line of sight to the satellite • Decide which options would require engineering work or hardware changes, and which are operational actions • Eliminate choices that only make the signal stronger electronically but do not remove a physical blockage
