can you attach an external gps antenna to this radio?

agree with the other three responders in that connecting an external gps antenna to the gx1700 is acceptable and provided for by standard horizon.

This radio has a digital tuner and ac adapter included. As for external antenna terminal, if you mean if this radio can allow you to hook up a separate external antenna besides the one that is already provided, it does not.

No, and there are plenty of other reasons not to purchase this unit. In the six months I've had mine, I've had to reset it back to factory defaults three times to restore connectivity to the GPS antenna.

Well, if you mean the in-dash radio that also functions as a GPS, then yes. If you mean a standalone gps, then no. In order to ensure compatibility, check to make sure that your factory or aftermarket radio has an RCA video input jack. More likely than not any aftermarket radio with display will have one, but often times factory radios are a bit more tricky.

I had an external GPS antenna installed at the same time I had the unit installed, so I don't know how reliable the internal antenna would be. Hope this helps.

Yes. There is an icon that looks like a portable radio and that is it. You must use the headphones that came with it as they are the antenna.

Yes, and Adapters are cheap (75 Ohm) and can be had at Radio Shak. In fact the antenna may come with one, can't remember.

Yes it does require and am/fm external antenna and a satellite antenna if you are going to use the sirius option

No, as a proximity antenna, but would probably work if you have an external AM plug on your unit

My understanding is the GPS antenna is a separate part that does attach to the GT680W so there should be no problem. I didn't order the GPS unit myself though. Don't need special software. I have reviewed video and my computer played with no problem. Should you have a problem then use Google and/or go to the E-Prance website.

No I bought one and installed myself the radio qulity is horrible!!!!! The gps is fine but it takes long time to find the way. And when I installed it it wouldn't completely fit so I had to trim a small part of the big thing. We'll good luck if you deceide to buy that and have fun

I haven't found it necessary to use a external antenna I do believe Standard Horizon has one available if you need one.

This radio has a telescoping antenna attached. About 6 inches long that expands to a little over 2 feet. There is no provision to add any other external antenna.

An external antenna comes with it. I don't think you can add another one.It's a really fine radio. My classical music station is often hard to get in my area but it comes in very well on this radio.

Yes. On the back, on the left-hand side, you can hook-up an external antenna. In fact, one comes included. I wanted one that would give me better reception, so I bought one at Radio Shack for about $13.

Sorry but didn't use an external antenna, the one that came with the scanner work great at the track and could here the spotters from the camp site. Two AA batteries lasted us about two-three races. Hope this helps out.
