Hello David,
Thanks for the pic!
Well, I need something that I can put outside, in the weather, with my
verticals, and other antennas. I am a Ham radio enthusiast, and I want
something I can properly mount and can be an all-weather device and can
live happily 'in the farm' so to speak.
I should have been more specific.
Thanks Again,
John Westmoreland

Thanks for the clarification, John. I'm sure others will answer your
question, but here I have not found the need for an outdoors GPS antenna,
being located on the top floor of a two-storey building, in a good VHF
location. This with one exception - an older Garmin GPS 18 LVC, which had
the sensitivity of decade-old devices, not the modern chips. That just sits
on the sloping roof, actually on the opposite side of the roof from these
antennas:
