Antenna to suit RaceGrade BL GPS units. Does not work for GLONASS RaceGrade GPS 3.1 units.
This antenna is specifically designed to suit RaceGrade 'BL' series GPS units. It is the correct replacement for the original antenna supplied with those specific devices.
No. This antenna is NOT compatible with the newer RaceGrade GPS 3.1 units that feature GLONASS support. Using this antenna on a GPS 3.1 may result in failure to acquire a satellite lock.
GLONASS-enabled units (like the GPS 3.1) typically require an antenna tuned to a broader or different frequency range. The BL antenna is tuned specifically for the standard GPS signals used by the older BL hardware.
Yes, like most motorsport GPS antennas, it typically features a magnetic base for secure, temporary mounting to the vehicle's roof or trunk lid to ensure a clear view of the sky.
GPS receivers provide a specific voltage to power the active antenna (usually 3.3V or 5V) and expect specific impedance. Using the matched RaceGrade BL antenna ensures maximum signal gain and reliability.
