Spirit System

I would like to mount the GeoLink on the floor of the cabin at the nose to take advantage of the laser on the bottom (with a hole in the bottom of fuselage for laser). I need a longer cable to reach from the Spirit GT. I can make my own cable.

The manual says, "Longer cable is possible and will be available. For GPS itself a shorter cable is better, because any additional cables attached to the module and Spirit unit could distort the signal" What is the problem with a longer GeoLink cable if routed away from other electronics and magnets?

Hello,

cable up to 60cm is fine and should be without any side effect.
Longer cable could add electrical noise and lower incoming GPS signal reception sensitivity.
