I need  to move my GPS antenna (Oncore GPS for WinSDR timing) to a 
location such  that I need to add 50' of coax.  What do you suggest 
for coax and  where can I find adapters for that tiny right-angle MMCX  
connector?
Hi Bob,
 
    Do you have to extend the aerial co-ax at all? Can  you not site the 
aerial + receiver remotely and extend the cable connecting it  to the computer? 
    The problems of RS232 connection are likely to be  minimal up to 50 m. Hi 
grade low loss UHF cable tends to be expensive. I note  that the web 
suppliers tend only to sell cable by the 100ft minimum.
