Are GPS antennas generic so they can be hooked up to any receiver?   A friend of mine has a L1/L2 antenna manufactured by Sensor Systems and wants to hook it up to a handheld Lowrance.

   If it's an un-amplified antenna, it's interchangeable.

   If an "active" antenna, there are no industry wide standards

   for such antennas and there is risk that an antenna not

   specifically designed to service your receiver will

   work. That doesn't mean that there aren't a whole lot

   of active antennas that will nicely interchange . . . only

   that folks who build receivers would dearly love for

   you to use their antenna and are not likely to give you

   a list of other, equally suitable antennas.

Maybe these people     http://gilsson.stores.yahoo.net/    can tell you if 

the Sensor Systems antenna works with the Lowrance handheld GPS.
