Kobra,
I'll be sure to do that, I'm interested as well. I know that he's had at
least one antenna upgrade and that the 396 is in a AirGizmo panel mount.

I'd be interested in hearing or reading PS Engineerings explanation and
solution. I couldn't find anything in their FAQs or elsewhere on their
website.

Jim,

I have a PS Engineering 8000B audio panel and a Garmin 396 GPS. I've had
the combo over a year and have never had a problem.

The 396 is mounted on the yoke, I use the little stubby antenna only (the
Cardinal has a large sloping windscreen with plenty of sky for the unit to
see) and the XM antenna placed on the far left side of the glareshield.
The
audio panel is in the top position in the radio stack.

I would be curious which GPS antenna your friend uses and which model PS
Eng. audio panel he has. If you have a chance to ask him, I'd be
interested
to know.
