I¡¯d like to place my QLG2 antenna just outside my shack; already have a conduit in place for several antenna coax runs. Unfortunately, the supplied coax for the GPS is about three meters too short.

?As others have said, the coax is usually RG174.? Because the antenna is active, i.e. it has an internal amplifier, loss in the coax is relatively unimportant.? I believe a 5m run would introduce less than 10dB loss which will probably leave plenty of signal for proper receiver operation.
