Default GPS Antenna - Multiple GPSs ?

Put it out of your mind and mount both antennas. GPS receivers
usually have the microwave part of the receiver up inside the radome
under the antenna because it's more sensitive that way. Very few of
them are compatible, as usual with proprietary marine crap. What
comes down the cable is IF (intermediate frequency RF) with DC power
going up to the electronics in the dome. Don't plug A's antenna into
B's receiver or you may blow it!

Any problem having a single external GPS antenna, like Garmin's GA 29 pole
mount model, connected to two GPS receivers via a simple Y-type connector?
If one GPS is disconnected, any problem leaving one open connection on the Y
while using the other GPS?

Thanks,
Len
