Question about radar installation

Hello, i am about to upgrade my outdated electronics. To make it easier, i plan to install the Garmin radar on a stern pole vice mast. Currently on the stern pole, i have a digital tv antenna and a vhf antenna.
However, Garmin states the radar should be several feet from these...yet, I see numerous boats with radars and various antennas on the same pole.
I’m sure some folks will tell me to simply adhere to Garmin’s instructions...

Anyone have a similar installation configuration (where the radar is mounted next to other antennas?...and if so, any problems?

Thx, Skippers

Re: Question about radar installation

If the pole is sturdy enough, and well enough braced, to support the RaDome, have an arch built to support the other antennas above it, in no cast "next to" it.


FWIW...
