I got my Z3801 yesterday and checked it out. How/where did you install the
antenna? I think I need to put the antenna on the roof so that the house
doesn't block the sky. For testing purposes I set the antenn in the front
yard (as far as the 20' cable would go) and it could only acquire 2
satellites, which isn't enough to do a survey and set the new position. Does
the antenna need to be mounted on a metal ground plane?
