Does anyone know if there's a min distance requirement for placing GPS Antennas? One for GNS430W and the other for Navworx ADS-B GPS... I have the GNS430W GPS Ant mounted just aft of the cabin top.

Thanks,
Jay

Multiple GPS antennas work well side-by-side. I'd keep at least 2'
spacing between GPS antennas and anything that transmits. The farther
the better.

Garmin states min edge distance as 6" and offset from each other. That's from the g3x manual for distance between the g3x gps/XM and another gps antenna such as the 430w.

I can't remember but something about 18" or 24" comes to mind.

Garmin also states to avoid mounting antenna closer than 3 inches from the windscreen to avoid degradation and to maintain a constant gain pattern. From 430W manual. So who ever put it under a plexi glass and right next to each other, if you have trouble that might be the reason.
