NOTE: The expected coverage from the GTX 328 is limited to “line of
sight”. Low altitude or aircraft antenna shielding by the aircraft itself may
result in reduced range. Range can be improved by climbing to a higher
altitude. It may be possible to minimize antenna shielding by locating
the antenna where dead spots are only noticed during abnormal flight
attitudes.
