and at least two meters above other active
receiving antennas and shielded from

Replace with cable of correct length
Incorrect connector(s) at the end(s) of the
cable(s) or along the cable run, causing dB
gain problems
Replace with correct connector
Incorrect use of splitters, including signal
splitting to another GPS device or cable cut to
wrong length
Replace with splitter that does not “share”
signal, on a cable of correct length
