[DML] re: XM Radio Antenna Location - fascia

["Mike Walsh" <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am glad this came up. I was planning on installing a GPS antenna 
that looks like a miniature computer mouse. It could mount on the 
louvers (or even under them) but because urethane is supposed to be 
invisible to radio waves I was thinking of installing duel antennas, 
in the front and rear fascias. The antennas will probably have to be 
mounted the correct side up and might need some kind of mount to 
orient them the right way.

I don't see why any antennas can't be mounted in the fascias. The 
only problem I can see is that they will not get 360 degrees 
visibility so a duel setup with one front and rear might be the best. 
Be careful running the cable not to have any sharp angles or running 
it close to sources of RF interference.
