Re: Mounting the QLG1 inside the case.
|
I mounted mine in the case behind the U3s, and used an sma bulkhead cable assembly to have the antenna connection exit the case.? I use a magnet mount active GPS antenna and it works great.? Pictures on the VFO page of Han's site. (the pics reference the VFO mounting, but there is a peek inside my U3S)

About the only thing holding me back is my poor metal working skills.?? I have a house with a metal roof and this GPS works so well that it receives 7 to 10 satellites anywhere I put it.?? I don't think there is a need to have it on a long cable mounted where it can see the sky.
Has anyone tried something like this?? And did it work ok?? I suppose the extra metal above the ground plane could de-tune the antenna.?
