That seemed like a good enough excuse to look inside. I removed a set of screws on the bottom that looked like they were holding the top on. I still couldn't get the top off. I assumed it was glued on which could make a weatherproof seal. But then why did they bother with the screws? -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's. I hate spam.

Clamping force and locating while the glue sets up? -John ============= >> I took one of those conical timing antennas apart only to find that it >> has the same ceramic patch as most cheap GPS antennas. > > How did you get it apart? > > I have a Lucent antenna that died.

My Panasonic VIC100 antenna had a few screws to hold the bottom to the plastic cone top. The bottom had an o-ring seal that stuck a little but was still pretty easy to slide the bottom from the top half. Inside was a patch antenna on top of a pcb. -Bob On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 9:08 AM, Hal Murray <hmurray@megapathdsl.net> wrote: > > > I took one of those conical timing antennas apart only to find that it > > has the same ceramic patch as most cheap GPS antennas. > > How did you get it apart? > > I have a Lucent antenna that died.
