Re: Remote GPS antenna

[Chuck Popenoe <cpops@verizon.net>]

Take a look at http://www.gpscables.com/.  I bought one of their active GPS
antennas for $45.  It works a treat and has much more gain than the
standard detachable antenna on my Garmin handheld.  It is about 2" square
and about 1/2" in thickness.  I plan on mounting it in the overhead panel,
but until then I am using it in my boat and car with my 176C.

My antenna is inside -- under the skin. I have a twin comanche and have the
antenna under the fiberglass glareshield and it works fine -- the fiberglass
is transparent to the signal -- no need for additional drag of an antenna.
