The GPS antenna for the Garmin X96 series is huge! Here's a picture of it next to a 1/4" drive ratchet.
I want to route it in better paths but don't want swiss cheese for panels. Is it possible to splice a smaller connector into the line to facilitate routing the antenna cable a better way or locating the antenna in a better place? Or is it better to mount a BNC bulkhead connector close to the antenna and run new cable from the bulkhead to the 496?
Perhaps a BNC to SMA adapter at the 496 and at the antenna location?
I'm sure someone out there has an elegant solution to this common problem.
