It's all about good reception.Global positioning systems (GPS) like the AN/PSN PSN - Packet Switched Network PSN - Packet Switching Node PSN - Panamerican Sports Network PSN - Pancreatitis Supporters Network (United Kingdom) PSN - Partido da Solidariedade Nacional PSN - Partido de la Sociedad Nacionalista (Spanish: Party of the Nationalist Society) PSN - Partido Solidarista Nacional (Brazil political party) PSN - Personal Service Network PSN - Plansoft Network PSN - Pobalscoil Neasáin (Irish school) PSN - Poison-11 PLGR PLGR - Plunger PLGR - Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver rely on line-of-sight (LOS) access to satellite signals. That means you'll get your best reception when there is nothing between your GPS antenna and the satellites but the clear sky. So when you're riding in a vehicle with a metal roof, the integral antenna hidden in the top of the GPS receiver is not going to get decent LOS reception. And waving your receiver out the window is not the answer to the problem. You need to install a remote antenna outside the vehicle. Order a PLGR remote antenna with NSN 5985-01-375-4660 and its cable with NSN 6150-01-375-8662. To install this antenna on an M1114 HMMWV HMMWV - High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (Up-Armored) HMMWV - High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (aka humvee or hummer), you'll need installation kit, NSN 2590-01-529-9541. To install this antenna on any other type of HMMWV except the ambulance series, you'll need installation kit, NSN 2590-01-530-2947. For more information about installing a PLGR in a HMMWV or guidance on installing the new AN/PSN-13 DAGR, call DSN 468-1109 or (478) 926-1109.
