Because the RF between this antenna/converter and the GPS75 is a lower
intermediate frequency, not the 2400 Mhz microwaves from the birds, any
coaxial extension cord with a BNC male on one end and BNC female connector
on the other works great to move the antenna away from the GPS75, Same
old, cheap RG-58 from RatShack works fine.


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.


Bruce in alaska one who remebers, it is the first active RF Device
that sets the Noise Floor.......
