RE:Garmin GA35 WASS Antenna Location
I have all my antenna locations decided upon and wired....YES....but.....I have yet to decide on the GPS Garmin GA35 WASS antenna. I have noted that many have placed it forward on the firewall with success both in terms of satellite acquisition as will as ease of placement. I also am only aware of a few failed antenna in that area that may or may not be a consequence of the palcement. I have contacted a dealer in the know that said the min / max temp for this antenna ...as tested...is -55 C and a +85 C. Therefore the top end temp is 185 F. so the question is what is the temp at the firewall. If less than 185 C I will place on the forward side of the firewall. Any help on temp zones under the cowl would be appreciated.
