hiker90 Would a communcations link between the satellites and a G* phone be maintained assuming that the marine kit G* antenna was pitching back and forth on top of a sailboat mast? Or, would the marine kit antenna need to be placed closer to the deck to minimize the pitching motion? The height of the antenna would make no difference to the angle from the vertical which is what matters (unless the seas are so heavy that the wave height is above the antenna and blocks the view to satellites near the horizon). Assuming that the marine antenna behaves similarly to that on the handset, it should work most of the time even at angles of 45 deg or more from the vertical. John
