GPS antenna cable

[[2574]]

Can I use ordinary VHF Co-ax for a gps antenna or does it have to be something special?

Depends on the type. Most GPS antennae today are active units which use a multicore cable to provide power and signal connections.

If the existing connection is coax, then yes. But given the weakness of the satellite signal I would be inclined to use high grade satellite coax rather than vanilla VHF stuff.
