Ultimate GPS Antenna

Post by Daniel3214 »

I was wondering, would a passive antenna work for the GPS? and would it make much of a difference?

If it is a passive GPS antenna you might get it to work but you need to check with the antenna maker to be sure.

The GPS probably won't detect a passive antenna, it is only for active antennas! many external GPS antennas (including the ones in the shop we have) are active
