Hello Everyone, Thanks for the feedback - I certainly have a lot to think about.
Seems eBay could be a preferred vendor for antennas. I don't need anything too fancy - but I would like something that does OK in wind and rain, I don't have to worry too much about snow at my current location - and I do have a mount point that will keep my cable length short - under 20 feet if I do it properly. Sounds like the '26dB' model will be fine. Is there a preferred vendor anyone wants to recommend? A reseller on eBay may not fit that category. Please e-mail me directly if you don't feel comfortable providing what could be construed as an opinion to a wide audience. Please, continue this discussion. It is quite interesting and I will try not to interfere too much. To say that I am a newbie or novice in the area of GPS is an understatement. I am finding what GPS satellites transmit quite fascinating. Thanks!
