Hello All,

I'm not sure how good is the satellite fix with the SkyDemon Mobile (or Third Party devices) when inside the cockpit. 

The aircraft I fly is fitted with an external GPS aerial with a BNC connector in the instrument panel.

Does anyone know how to connect the SkyDemon Mobile (or Third Party device) to a BNC connector in order to get a better signal from the external aerial?

I have seen battery powered re-radiating aerials but I prefer a wired connection to the GPS device via the BNC if this can be done.

Thanks for any tips.

Regards,
Mark

On my cheapo Chinese device, it manages to get an accurate GPS signal inside my house. I imagine it should be just fine in an aircraft if it can manage that.

Which "cheapo Chinese device" are you using?
