Antenna works very well. Multiple connector/adapters provided in package allows for use with both older and newer GPS models.

By the time I walked upstairs after connecting the antenna, the green (Sat Lock) LED was glowing on an ESE ES-185A GPS Master Clock. Had to kludge some adapters to connect the antenna's FME connector to a BNC cable, but the key adapter came with the antenna! Perfect. I assume that the +5 VDC on the center conductor of the coax to power the LNA is more or less standard.

I am very pleased with this antenna. I bought it to move the receiving location of my Garmin, so for example I could put the antenna under my hat and still get good satellite signal with the GPS on my belt. For this use this antenna works very well, but I was very pleased to find out that this antenna outperforms the built-in antenna to a remarkable degree. With this Gilsson antenna the strength of the satellite signals jumps up, usually to the maximum; also the accuracy estimate improves by a meter or two, and the position fix under trees is vastly improved.
The universal adapters work well, allowing me to use this antenna with my handheld Garmin as well as a PCMCIA GPS card in my laptop. The adapters are a little bulky but better than buying multiple antennas.
