    So I have a factory GPS card from a cf-18. I do not have the factory GPS antenna. I was wondering if I can install this card into my cf-18 and use an aftermarket antenna with it? I have been reading up and my inpression is that the em-408 (I think this is it, sorry if its not) is a much more accurate GPS antenna. It is possible to use the factory card with this antenna? Or is there much more modification that needs to be done? Also if these are not compatable, what antenna would be compatable with the factory GPS card?

    Thanks for any support you can offer.

    I missed that auction, but found another. Is this the "best" antena available for this application? Is there the option to use a "more accurate" antena with this card? Or would I need to omit this card and use an aftermarket one?

    Thanks for the help ohlip!
