I have a Lowrance Airmap 2000c GPS, which came with a RAA-4 remote amplified antenna.  I want to mount the antenna on the rear deck under the canopy of my RV-4.  Is there any problem splicing into the existing cable and adding about 4ft?  Also would like to run the cable thru a conduit which contains wiring for MAC servo and Position light....will this cause any interference with the GPS?    

Thanks,

 Warren:

  

 The only way to correctly splice a coax is to use connectors.

  

 Adding the extra 4 ft will not be a problem as long as connectors are used.

  

 Running it through the tubing, there you will have to experiment.  More than likely you should NOT have any problems.  Strobes like to spread their signal around ... You did say position lights, not strobes.
