    Distance between GPS antennas?

    I am installing a second GPS on my tower and was wondering if a second GPS antenna will interfere with the one already installed. One is a Garmin, one Furuno. Does anyone know if they can be side by side or if there is a recommended distance that needs to be between them? Thanks!

    As long as they can both see the sky, there should be no problems. They are receivers so the don't cause interference with each other.

    Distance between GPS anrennas

    True, it doesn't matter how close they are to one another, however you should mount it as far from your VHS antenna as possible and either above or below the plane of your radar to avoid interference.
