Hi Over the years, there have been many generations of GPS gear. Even today there is a range of stuff out there. Any time you dive into this or that box there is a long list of things to wonder about. 1) Does it expect a 50 db, 30 db, 20 db or 12 db gain antenna? Some front ends are designed wit

I was curious and looked up the Datum unit. In the datasheet, there's this option: 26B55144 HIGH GAIN GPS ANTENNA This antenna supports an antenna cable loss of up to 35dB. It is required for Option 20D (400'/120 m) or 20E (500'/150 m) antenna cables. So, 200' should be no sweat, if you use

Hi Jack. At work I had to bring GPS signal to one of our labs, which is in the middle of a building with no rooftop access or nearby window. The only I was able to do it was to bring a long run of LMR400 cable from my rooftop antenna on top of the building which connects to a GNSS splitter am

I suppose you could do a split type distribution of the conversion functions, but it may be simpler to just add some more gain at L1 with an in-line amplifier - preferably close to the far (antenna) end. You'd have to work out how to provide the DC power for it, like taking some 5V supply curre
