HI Bruce, what is the favorite while navigation through the inside passage.
I learned that the US government are spending money to upgrade their Loran
chain?

Because the RF between this antenna/converter and the GPS75 is a lower

coaxial extension cord with a BNC male on one end and BNC female

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.

I suspect that GPS is favored over Loran these days....TD's for that area
are 15, 28, and 48, if I recall. Fallon Nv., Near Ketchikan Ak., Yakatat
Ak, and Tok Ak., and Kodiak Ak. I think it is 5990 and then 9940 as you
clear Cape Spencer. Been a while since I actually did any work on a
Loran System, but that is what I think I remeber.... could also just be
a "Senior Moment".....
