And also does it work well with the ADS GPS out of the box?

The ADS GPS will work, but you need to provide it a regulated +5VDC. Luckily, the YagTracker provides that +5VDC switched through the DB9 interface. When connected properly, the GPS will power up/down with the YagTracker's power switch. Take a look at our YagTracker Breakout Box on the site:
http://www.rpc-electronics.com/yagtrackerbob.php
The GPS port is plug and play with the ADS GPS and many other similar "tracker" GPS receivers. The blue jumper sets the GPS power on Pin 4 for either +5VDC or whatever the system input voltage is (Such as +12VDC in a car).
The radio port on the breakout box is the standard tracker pinout, so all of the standard tracker interface cables (including the ones that we make) are also plug and play.
Screenshot from the YagTracker user's manual:

Mostly correct. The picture I showed in my original post shows this antenna and also has a description of what it is. In my case, my Jeep came with the low end factory radio (no sat radio) so I had to drill the 3/4" myself, to install the antenna. It's a Trimble with a built-in 3.3V LNA.

Whoops, yes you're right that's the NMO270 coil.
And who said you can't buy them anymore? They're still available new. |

I sent an e-mail to your sales e-mail account about the YagTracker...

I'm not 100% happy with the arrangement yet. I might switch things around to make the cable runs flow nicer. That's the nice thing about the fiber board I used, I can change things around without too much hassel. If I find that I put too many holes in it, I can swap it out for a new one.

You can only get them with the closed coil and they are not anodized black anymore. I preferred the open coil.

The antenna base or the whip portion? That would be a shame if Larsen doesn't sell the whip with the "curly cue" phasing section anymore as it was much more durable than the closed-coil chrome whip.

According to this page: http://productfinder.pulseeng.com/pr...arch/2%252F70# both sealed coil and open coil designs are still available..

However, I just did a quick search and found this site:
NMO2/70B | HamCity / Ham Radio Equipment
Looks about the right price. I would probably email them first and confirm that it's still available and in stock.
