 a bottom portion, the top portion and the bottom portion attached to form a single mold; 
 and the single mold housing:
 a global positioning system (GPS) receiver; 
 a plurality of GPS antennas covered by the single radome; 
 an interconnect circuit board; and 
 a touch screen display. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 1 , further comprising a shielded chamber within the enclosure that secures the touch screen display. 
     
     
         3 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 2 , wherein shielding of the shielded chamber comprises copper paint. 
     
     
         4 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 1 , further comprising internal shielded wiring for an ON/OFF switch of the enclosure. 
     
     
         5 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 1 , further comprising sighting guides for the enclosure. 
     
     
         6 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 5 , wherein the sighting guides are placed on the top portion of the enclosure. 
     
     
         7 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 6 , wherein the enclosure with the sighting guides comprises a surveying tool. 
     
     
         8 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 1 , further comprising a built-in carrying handle for the enclosure. 
     
     
         9 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 8 , wherein the built-in carrying handle is part of the bottom portion of the enclosure. 
     
     
         10 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 1 , further comprising an attachment mechanism to keep the antenna alignment device from falling. 
     
     
         11 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 10 , wherein the attachment mechanism comprises at least one opening within the enclosure that allows the antenna alignment device to be tied down. 
     
     
         12 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one opening is part of the bottom portion of the enclosure. 
     
     
         13 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein the enclosure further comprises:
 a universal serial bus (USB) port; and   a battery charging port.   
     
     
         14 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 13 , wherein the enclosure further comprises a cover that protects the USB port and the battery charging port. 
     
     
         15 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 1 , wherein the enclosure further comprises a mounting knob. 
     
     
         16 . The antenna alignment device of  claim 15 , wherein the mounting knob comprises a single Pem-nut.
