 I have been getting conflicting advice about relative position in 
 regard to my radar dome.  Both will be mounted on my mast about 12 to 
 24 inches apart.  I have a choice of having the GPS right below the 
 bottom of the dome or I could put an extension and have it extend a 
 few inches above the dome.  Any advice? 
 Thanks

I put mine on top of the stern arch and that's a mistake. Once in a  
while I get some reading of 50 knots or more. I think they are caused by  
the rocking or rolling of the boat. I would put the antenna as low as  
possible near the center of motion that has a clear view of the sky. You  
know there is a place on the boat that actually doesn't move. Put it  
there. :-)
