Hello,
I am wondering which GPS antenna I need for the QK-A027 AIS GPS receiver. The description states that the device includes a GPS receiver, so that it would need a passive antenna only to catch the signal. The GPS antenna you have for sale is however an active antenna that includes a GPS receiver.
Is there an actual GPS receiver integrated or is the LS NMEA input just being mutilpexed with the HS AIS-NMEA input?
As the VHF needs a LS NMEA GPS signal, how can I get this from the device ? The output NMEA is needed to be HS to connect to the plotter.
Thank you for a practical solution.
Andrew
which GPS antenna?
Re: which GPS antenna?
Hi Andrew,
Passive GPS antenna is antenna that have no amplification stage(no amplifier), while active GPS antenna normally have a LNA to amplify the GPS signal. Both don't have GPS receiver. Hope this makes sense to you.

Re: which GPS antenna?
How come the GPS antenna can put out the GPS NMEA sentence? or don't they?
