![]() ![]() The newer Garmin antennas are 32 channel vs. a passive antenna would use coax cable to connect to a receiver. As such, they have their own built-in receivers and then transmit the data over the network cable. My understanding that these specific antennas are "active" vs. TugScout wrote:My current antenna is a N2K based model and transmits data through the N2K network.

Are there any issues with an N2K drop that isn't connected to anything? My other consideration is just extending the backbone to a different/easier to access location for future use. Since I'll need to pull it out to install drops for the AIS and heading sensor, I was considering pulling a few more drops just for future expansion. Is there an N2K plug on the bottom of the unit so it can be easily replaced with a new model or is it hardwired and will require running new cable and/or splicing into existing cable?Īlso, while I'm thinking of it, my N2K backbone is behind the fridge. ![]() Last year I upgraded my chartplotter and this year I plan to add an AIS800 and add a heading sensor. My 2012 R-27 has the existing GPS-17N antenna that came from the factory.
