Radio antenna interfering GPS antenna???

hey guys,

just a quick question.
will having the 27meg radio antenna over (only when its folded down, for say in the river etc) the antenna/reciever for the gps have any affect on either?

The pics should help that make sense

thanks

Physical blockage only

It should only block the signal physicaly but not interfere electrialy. just turn on your GPS with the antenna down , look at your sattelites your receiving data from then lift the antenna if you get better signals then it is blocking up to a point on the other hand when there are not many sats in view you may block them all given the other things around it i.e the console.




To all the virgins..............Thanks for nothing!
