As a result, the TracVision M9 keeps boaters connected to their favorite TV entertainment while outperforming any similarly sized antenna on the market in rough seas and farther offshore. "The innovations included in the TracVision M9 make it an ideal match for vessels 80 feet and longer," explained Ian Palmer Ian Palmer (born 13 July 1957) is a South African golfer. Palmer was born in Uitenhage. He turned professional in 1981 and has won the 1985 PAN AM Wild Coast Sun Classic and the 1991 Nissan Challenge on the Southern Africa Tour. , KVH's executive vice president for satellite sales. "Our exclusive new RingFire technology offers increased gain and extended range while the automatic and fully stabilized skew control enables the antenna to adjust to the vessel's changing location for uninterrupted reception. For vessels traveling through U.S. waters, the TracVision M9 provides HDTV programming from DIRECTV with completely automatic satellite switching right from the remote control, an exclusive KVH KVH Keith Van Horn (basketball player) KvH Katrina vanden Heuvel (editor; The Nation) feature! Larger vessels deserve that extra level of performance and I'm pleased to say that the TracVision M9 lives up to that high standard." The TracVision M9 sets some new standards as well. Just because the antenna is 32" in diameter doesn't mean that boat owners must be burdened with a bulky dome atop their sleek vessel. The TracVision M9's unique mechanical design allows the antenna to be housed in a dome 35% smaller than competing systems, packing a powerful marine satellite TV system into a compact, streamline package. The new TracVision M9 also uses KVH's proprietary new RingFire technology, a remarkable breakthrough in antenna design.

The result? Boaters using the TracVision M9 will enjoy wider geographic coverage and better reception, even in extreme weather.
