Default GPS Antenna - Multiple GPSs ?

Len,

If you really want to try this then I think you could minimize the risk
by using satellite distribution components. Connect the antenna to it's
correct receiver. Spilt the signal with and appropriate Diplexer (sat.
jargon for splitter). Block the DC from the second receiver with a
blocking diode. There is still a risk that the signal strength of the
ant. is too high as to damage the input of the second receiver but I
believe this to be minimal. All of this would be done ideally under the
supervision of someone who know electronics.

After saying all that. I believe Larry's advice to use two antennas is
the best cause you then have two entirely redundant systems.

Regards, Ron
