Each footprint map indicates coverage areas based on EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power), a value representing the satellite signal strength in those areas. The higher the number: the stronger the signal.
With a minimum EIRP of 34 dBW, the TracVision M9 offers the widest coverage available. The TracVision M7 and M5 can receive signals with EIRP levels as low as 46 dBW, while the 45 cm TracVision antennas can receive signals with EIRP levels of 48 dBW or higher (In limited areas, these 45 cm systems can be reprogrammed to receive 50 dBW signals. See your authorized KVH agent for details).
Many factors besides EIRP affect the ability of the user to watch TV with a given antenna size. Please see your authorized KVH agent for further details.
If you are located within a coverage area that has an EIRP equal to or greater than your antenna's rating, you should have no problem getting crystal-clear reception.
Note: If the satellite you wish to receive is not already installed in your system's satellite library, you can install it manually. Refer to your TracVision user's manual for details. The coverage maps provided above are intended as guidelines only and are subject to change without notice.
