Looks like that should work. Don’t forget about grounding / lightning protection …

I paired it with a splitter from GPS Networking. 35 feet of RG-213 from the antenna to the splitter, and 3 feet of rg-58 from splitter to the devices. The one I’m using for testing is sitting on my desk near a window… so far it’s been working well.
