Well of course you are correct. My "mushroom" is fine, Wish I could say the same for the connector/adaptors I used on the way to the mushroom. All is fine now after "reseating" connectors.

Cone shaped or mushroom shaped white plastic enclosures. Mast mount with a coax connector on the bottom (occasionally a pigtail). They generally sell for less than $30. I've never seen one of the sub $30 ones that wanted anything other than 5 volts. Even the 5 volt ones seem to survive long term (days) exposure to +12. I'm not sure I'd count on that with every single one of them +though. No I didn't test that "feature" on purpose....

The typical EBAY "Marine GPS Antenna" is not voltage labeled, but since it died after a few hours, I assume it was 3 volt. Any suggestions on a mod to either unit to change the feed to 3 volt, or suggestions on a reasonable cost 5 volt antenna. Do not really need a "survey grade" antenna.
