I expected to answer this question with a quick google search and / or VAF query. No luck. So, now I'm posing the question to all of you.
My hangar neighbor has a Garmin GTX-327 that he is replacing with the Stratus ESGI system. The ESG requires a GPS antenna input. Appareo (Stratus) provides an antenna with their unit. He also has a Garmin 430 (non-WAAS) which is connected to a Garmin antenna. As we ponder the install, I questioned if we could just split off the GPS signal from his existing 430 puck antenna or, perhaps replace the 430 antenna with the provided Stratus GPS antenna and supply both the 430 and the Stratus ESG from the same antenna.
I don't have any experience sharing GPS antennae among receivers. Do any of you know if it is acceptable to split a GPS antenna across multiple receivers?
Thanks!
Randy
