    That's what I normally refer to as a Dual Pass-through PCB. It allows you to have two different antennas through the docking station; one for GPS and one for a wireless modem for instance, though you're not limited to just those. All of the 29s & 30s came with a single external antenna PCB that you're probably familiar with. Some docking stations allow for 2 antennas instead of 1 and this is the part that interfaces with it.

    Hi Zeroflight,
    cheers for answering that mate , I thought that maybe it be something to do with internal card, but that clears thing up.

    Ya know TB - ya got me thinking on that. Clicking on their "Availability" tab reveals the part is "Special Order". I'd bet a dollar that if you DID order it from them, it would STILL come from Heartland.

    Ouch! I didn't notice the price on the website before. HSI has it for about $60 I think (plus a reaping in shipping).
