Try this-- RG+142 Its main attributes are are that it weighs 1/3 of standard RG142
(incredible) and has markedly better temperature performance, better shielding
and lower loss. I sell a lot of it, some to Indy car builders.
The main trick is that it uses Copper-Clad Aluminum for it's core, not copper or
steel. So it's made for military aircraft and satellite use.
Sample on request.

I recently went through this and also suspect the sensor. The trouble
shooting info with the new unit says that the 2 instrument wires should
have about 3 ohms. Mine was open.

List guys=2C
All this discussion on GPS coax got me to thinking. I'm pretty close to
mounting
the remote antenna for my Garmin GPS296. The intended location for the ant
enna
is on top of my instrument pod/console=2C with the reception facing upward
through
Lexan.
My question is=3B will Lexan inhibit the GPS's antenna reception? If it
does=2C I'll have
to find a better location=2C possibly at the top=2C outside of the windshie
ld.
Thanks for your help=2C

My experience is NO lexan will not limit it but you may consider mounting it
at the top of your winshield to give a better unobstructed view rather than
on your instrument panel. Depending on windshield . . .
