Rob, in article a999739f-3fe0-4e5a-b019-94c67b451186
@v67g2000hse.googlegroups.com, says... I have been getting conflicting advice about relative position in regard to my radar dome. Both will be mounted on my mast about 12 to 24 inches apart. I have a choice of having the GPS right below the bottom of the dome or I could put an extension and have it extend a few inches above the dome. Any advice? As others have said, mount it low down with a clear view of the sky - and well away from the radar transmitter. A friend's boat had one that was mounted above a radome that wouldn't work when the radar was running. Apparently, the cable going up to the GPS antenna routed in front of the radar antenna wasn't a good idea... :-) Mounting it high up on a sailing boat also makes it subject to position reporting error due to heel, not to mention confusing it when rolling. -- JohnW.
