Us 5 Camp Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 I noticed all the external antennas come with 8' or 16' cords. I was interested in trying an external antenna while hiking in DENSE tree cover with a 76S. Is What's involved in shortening the cables? Can one cut the cable shorter to say 3-4' and use a coupler to add the longer length back in if needed? One example of GPS Antenna from GPS Geeks.... Thanks for you help. Quote Link to comment
+Rich in NEPA Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Us 5 Camp: you might want to check out this thread from the forums at the end of last year. I've shortened mine to 4 feet and it is so much more convenient to deal with when hiking and biking.
