Does the Palisade have an LNA at the antenna? Since it is an integrated
receiver antenna construction, I would imagine they use a passive
antenna. And you have no ready to use coaxial connector to the Palisade
housing.

Is it worth your time? Why not take a small mag-mount antenna (++many
available at sub $10 at an online auction site close to you.) They
usually have up to about 5 meters of thin coax (RG174 or equiv.).
