    Powered Antenna

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    CLICK HERE and scroll down EXACTLY halfway down the page. You will see a window suction mount for external antennas labeled as "GPS Antenna Windshield Mount Bracket for Garmin GA26C GA27C and Gilsson BNC MCX antennas". That's what I use with my external antenna when I fly on commercial airliners.

     

    :D um....duh. The power of the scroll bar. (ok, can't find the "embarrased" smiley.

     

    Thanks for the help.

    Just got my external Gilsson antenna from here. It came with 2 small screws. On the bottom there are 2 screw holes, and it says "For pilots, boaters & hikers: To avoid Compass Interference peel to remove magnet"

     

    What are the screws for? There obviously for the screw holes, but what gets attached? I started to peel the sticker, but it wasn't coming off easily, and it looks like I'd peel the model, serial number, etc. info.

     

    What has anyone else done?

    Welcome to the obsession...er...I mean hobby!

     

    I borrowed a friend's GPS and went hunting my first. I did the Chicken Dance when I got my first! I felt the same way. What a rush!

     

    Just received my GPSMAP 60C yesterday, and I'm severely bumming its snowing here in the Philly area.

    I Ordered It!

    I get home from work yesterday at around 5:00. At 7:30 the wife says "oh yeah, did you see the package that came for you? Its in the living room."

     

    AAHHHHHhhhhhh....... he screams as he runs into the living room.

     

    **Tearing and ripping sounds***

     

    It's here! It's here! My 60C arrived!

     

    And don't you know, its snowing like heck in the Philly area......

     

    are the geogods against me?

    Hiking Boots Revisited

    in General geocaching topics

    This is what I wear as well, and I love 'em. After walking through streams and snow while wearing them, I can vouch for the fact that they're definitely waterproof. I, too, have the brown ones...didn't see any red ones where I bought mine, but I wouldn't wear red ones anyway. 

     

    Hubby wears the Ozark Trail boots mentioned by MMACH 5 earlier in the thread; he's never had a problem with them.

     

    When we got our boots, we also made sure to invest in some good socks - no cotton, so as to avoid blisters. They've worked so far!

     

    Daclaren, I'd like some detail added here. What kind of sock did you purchase, and where did you get the boots/socks.

    I was thinking "sacred", as in a "Druid-ish" sort of fashion. You know, tree worship. Wouldn't his potential constituency be interested in knowing this?

     

    So, let's see what other stereotypes we can hypothosize: :lol:

     

    He drives a Yugo (or rides a bike to work).

    Is a card-carrying member of the Sierra Club.

    Doesn't really know what "outdoors" means, except as previously noted: if it's outdoors, it's sacred and all you people should stay in your houses.

    He's a vegetarian.

     

    Think of any more?

    Congratulations on becoming officially a 'cacher. BTW, were you doing that cache that requires the funky chicken dance??

     

    I did! Good thing there wasn't anyone around to see!

     

    not until you go back and delete that second "FOUND IT" log, just kidding, welcome to the game

     

    Clearly a noob, rookie mistake. I promise to do a better job collecting all my thoughts before logging a find. I beg the forgiveness of the GC pro's who have been doing this since Ulmer's 2nd cache.

    I got my first find today! I was so excited I jumped and danced my way back to the car!

     

    I found this

    today, but couldn't find this one.

     

    I was clearly not dressed for the second cache. But I was so excited about my first day officially geocaching having borrowed a Garmin GPS III Plus over the weekend. These 2 caches are close by where I work. The first one was perfect for a first attempt. I thought borrowing the III plus was a good idea before I plunk down a wad on a new GPS.

     

    Am I officially a geocacher? I'm hooked, no question. I.....must.....remember.....to....eat......

     

    Must......remember........family.......obligations

    Barometer and electronic compass is the only difference. CS had them C does not.

     

    Actually, its altimeter and electronic compass, not barometer.

    What Are Your Hobbies Beside Geocaching?

    Music, Cub Scouting with my boy(s).

     

    Uh oh! I do music and have one son in Cub Scouts (former Cubmaster I am) and one son in Boy Scouts (Asst Scout Master I am).

     

    As a noob, I'm still feeling my way around, and since this is a "Markwell" like entry, does this mean I've been "Markwell'ed"?........

     

    ......I read all the recent posts about Markwell, haven't figured out what it means yet, though..........
