Well close but no cigar on the above.....GPS runs at 1.6Ghz, and I have never seen a Garmin GPS that downconverts in the remote antenna. Mostly what Garmin does is have a Powered LNA and Patch Antenna in their remote antennas that feed the Reveiver at Frequency. My Garmin GPS3 and GPS3+ both are this way, and all the earlier Garmins with external antenna capability are the same as they can use the same remote antennas.
