If the wrong voltage or wrong polarity blows it, just send it to Jack and
he'll replace it....(c;

Let's take a more cautious approach. Unplug the antenna off both units and
measure the DC voltage feeding the antenna unit at the bnc connector on the
GPS unit. See what it's feeding the antenna.


Is it the same? (Y/N)

Y - go ahead

N - don't risk it?

Yes, I will. I have a few of them laying in the basement.

And I'll bet you $100 it will not damage the antenna.

It has already been done both ways.

Very cool. I'm glad to see that someone else has already tried it
successfully.

I'll probably check the voltages just to be sure, but sounds like it'll be
no problem.

Thanks!
