No. At best, the 2 meter element will be an endfire longwire at GPS
frequencies. I don't know the reason you wish to run both on the same antenna, but I also needed the same antennas on my car. I have a Garmin III Plus as the input to APRS in the car. I use a suction cup mounted external antenna for the Garmin GPS which is about (from memory) 2.5 inches wide, 1.5 inches deep, and .4 inches thick. It works very well mounted to the lower center of the windshield on my Jetta. I run through a duplexer into a trunk mounted Comet UHV for the 2m APRS antenna. tom K0TAR Andrew wrote: I've got a 2 meter antenna for my mobile unit, and I'm wondering if it could double as a GPS antenna. I've got a friend, who 5 years ago showed me how he had his laptop running MS Streets & Trips hooked to a GPS receiver. I'm not sure if he had a standalone receiver meant for laptop use, or somehow used his ham antenna and another receiver. Any ideas? Thanks, Andrew Weber KG4OTT |
