GPS Pucks and AM/FM Antennas

[Gerritt]

I am working out the location on where to mount my GPS puck and AM/Fm antennas.. is there anything I need to worry about in terms of them needing to be spaced apart? will one interfere with the other?

 

 

Here is an image... my hope is to locate them on the port side as that is where the batteries are etc..

 

 

can anyone offer any advice? should I be concerned with interference?

 

Thanks in advance!

Gerrit:

If the AM/FM antennas are receive only, no worry about spacing.

 

If they transmit, 20 - 30 inches should work, you can test this by hitting the transmit button on the transceiver and watching the GPS to make sure it doesn't go off line - be sure to check the top, middle and low frequencys.

Don't drill any holes till you've had it out on the water! Leave the GPS puck loose and play with it for awhile....

Very good advise Dax. Mine got installed before I saw it.... on the bow pulpit... right beside where my planer mast goes / elect trolling motor / nav light etc and it can cause satelite reception problems.
