On GPS antennae, for what it's worth:

I opened a GPS puck antenna used for my PowerFlarm Portable, unsoldered
the wires, cut the coax to the required length and soldered the center
conductor and shield to the correct locations. I often had GPS dropouts
on the Flarm.Â* I recently removed that antenna and, using the internal
antenna on the portable unit, have had no more drop outs.Â* Just sayin'...

Thanks !
What about cutting and reconnecting (quick disconnect) the GPS antenna wires. What connector would you use ?
