So which electronics package are you using? I assume you are placing
it in the coupler for the nose cone? If you do remotely locate the
patch antenna keep it well away from the antenna.

The 3" long coupler is the Av-bay, and I'd like to get the
patch antenna out in front of the carbon fiber.
Thanks,

Well... it's certainly possible to remove the patch
antenna, but using a
remote GPS antenna might end up being a bit harder than
you think.
On TeleMetrum v1 boards, we used an amplified patch with a
short
pig-tail to a U.FL connector on the board, but in all
current products
we're using a passive patch through a SAW filter directly
to the GPS
receiver module. It's certainly theoretically possible to
remove the
patch, install a suitable RF connector, and run coax to a
remote GPS
antenna, but I suspect you might want to use an amplified
antenna in
such a situation.
I'm curious what about your install makes you think this
is a good
solution, though? Can you share a diagram or photo or
something? We
might be able to find you a simpler solution...
