heliax GPS antenna vs. patch

Patch antennas used in GPS products can be positioned so that even the super sensitive SiRF Star III will not get enough signal to work.

How about SFE offering the Saratel GeoHelix?

Good addition to the patch antenna offerings?

I love one stop shopping when it’s possible.

I like the look of those. What the cost like?

The US distributor quoted USD32.00.

I thought it would be a welcome addition to SFE GPS patch antennas offerings.

Falcom USA has an integrated receiver & Sarantel quadrifilar antenna module. Quoted me $50 on 100 pcs.
