Hi,
Beware mounting it at 90 degrees to the vertical. It has a drain hole at the bottom to allow for the drainage of condensation when mounted on the 'U' bracket.

Quick question on mounting a g-5500 elevation router. Does it matter which way you mount it or can you set the controller to know where it is? This is a little hard to explain, but I want to mount it so the mass of the controller is horizontal to the ground, not vertical like when the az/el are package together. If I do this, will I be able to set the antennas somehow so the controller knows where they are or does it determine that on its own?
If I mount it wrong and the controller can not be told where it is (ie. calibrated) then all of my degrees would be off by 90 because I am mounting the elevation portion horizontal instead of vertical.
I hope this question makes sense, but I don't want to assemble it all up high and then findout it doesn't work as planned.
Thanks for any input!
