Default 2 GPS antenna's overkill ?

Can I make a good case for installing a 2nd GPS antenna at the helm
E-80?


There's two on Lionheart. One is the Raymarine Raystar 120 hooked to the
RL-70CRC color radar's plotter and the other is the old trusty Garmin 185
chart plotter right next to it. The antennas are safely tucked away
between the hand crank for the traveler and the port side of the hard top,
not out where the excitable crew will get a line wrapped around the domes
and tear them off inadvertently. They both work great through the
fiberglass hard top on the center cockpit.

There's usually 2 or 3 handhelds aboard, plus the one in the 406 Mhz EPIRB
in the ditch bag, just in case.

You can't have too many GPSs aboard, even the oldest ones made work great
with no selective availability to screw them.
