My Garmin 196 does not want to aquire satelites.When i move it away from my instrument pod its picks them up - bring it closer to the pod - looses signals.Is my instruments,radio etc.maybe causing this.I have Skydat dx 2,vertex radio and airmagic intercom system.Was thinking of useing the external aerial and move it away from the instruments - dont know if it will work - gps stays at the same place.ANY Advise

Riaan, you can use pretty much any antenna for a GPS, I used the original Aquilla antenna on the front for a fair while. Obviously there are correctly designed units but a knitting needle will also work !!
try it and see.

I have the external garmin antennae as I had the same issue with my 196. While you can use any antennae getting the bayonet type fitting for the GPS might be a problem?
