Greetings from the PacNorWest!

My question is: what problem(s) would I have if I cut the antenna
wire to my GPS/chart plotter (Standard Horizon CP-170) and splice
with a BNC connector or equivalent? Not sure what the impact would
be (loss issues) at the freq used by GPS.

I want to relocate the antenna and don't want to pull the antenna
wire. If I could cut, relocate and splice the wire the job is soooooo
much easier.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks for your time//

I have a 10 meter lead spliced with a BNC connector to my GPS, and the
signals are perfectly OK.
