Hi Rob, See my earlier post on using repeaters / re-radiators in the UK. Ofcom are insitituting a "light" licencing scheme for GPS / GNSS repeaters. The "transmit" antenna must be inside and the licence fee is £75. No mention that I've seen of type approval but they should of course meet CE requirements. Connecting an active and passive antenna back to back (with a bias tee or inline amp) is illegal in the UK unless you get a licence from Ofcom first. A quick seach on Ofcon GPS repeaters will bring up a bunch of references. Robert G8RPI.

Unfortunately, (I think this is still valid in the UK), we are not allowed to use GPS re-radiators. I need to check latest rules & regs.

Alan, Google for words like GPS re-radiator or GPS repeater. There are also units on eBay. If not to buy, at least to study examples. The one I have is made by www.gpssource.com but it seems you could build one yourself. It's easy to test by looking at your indoor SV count and reception levels. With patch antennae you don't have to worry about RHCP issues, right? /tvb _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
