Jones" 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.

Sensor? 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.

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 Mike Welch ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 12:01:20 PM PST US Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: GPS antenna reception From: PHILLIPS I Hi Mike My two GPS antenna are mounted inside the roof panel on my Europa, so they are looking through 6 plys of Bid and paint i have no problem picking up a signal, Lexan wont be a problem.
