Cut GPS Antenna Wire??

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?
Interesting question.
I'd check with the manufacturer actually. I can't think of a reason
right off hand as to why you couldn't do it, but there may be a reason
why you shouldn't.
Later,
Tom
