| External antenna for M5
I have a garmin external antenna that I bought for my old 12xl. The cable is 25 feet long IIRC. But this antenna doesn't work with my M5. As a test I let my M5 acquire sattelites and get in to 3D navigation mode, I then connected the external antenna without moving the M5 and the external receiver was about 2 feet away pointed up, as soon as I connected the external antenna the signal was lost and didn''t come back. When I removed the antenna the signal came back just fine. I just read on a web site that offers an after market external antenna that the Garmin antenna will get you 16 dB gain whereas the after market antenna will get you 28 dB gain. Has anyone had experience with the external antenna on an M5? |
