Detailed description

The FURUNO GPA-017 GPS antenna is designed to provide precise and reliable positioning in marine environments. Compatible with a range of Furuno multifunction displays and chartplotters, including the GP33, GP39, and GP170 models, it ensures stable satellite reception for navigation.

Technical specifications

The GPA-017 operates on the L1 frequency of 1575.42 MHz ± 1.023 MHz. It features an antenna gain of ≥ 2.0 dBi (at 90° elevation) and ≥ -4.0 dBi (at 10° elevation), with a pre-amplifier gain of 27.5 ± 5.5 dB and a noise figure ≤ 1.6 dB. The antenna is powered by a voltage of 4 to 5.5 VDC with a current consumption of ≤ 25 mA. Its polarization is right-hand circular (RHCP), and its VSWR is ≤ 2.0. Its weight is 120 g.

Design and performance

With IPx7 waterproofing, the antenna is built to withstand harsh marine conditions, supporting operating temperatures from -25°C to +70°C and storage temperatures from -35°C to +75°C. It delivers a positioning accuracy of 3 meters and is compatible with WAAS/EGNOS/SBAS for enhanced precision. Equipped with an active receiver, it ensures continuous satellite tracking and rapid signal acquisition, even in challenging areas. Its design includes improved resistance to multipath interference for more stable location data. Connection is via a TNC-J (female TNC) connector, and it comes with a 10-meter cable.

Extended compatibility

The FURUNO GPA-017 is compatible with the GP33, GP39, GP170, GP31, GP32, GP1650 (GP1650, GP1650/NT, GP1650F, GP1650F/NT, GP1650W, GP1650W/NT, GP1650WF, GP1650WF/NT), GP1850 (GP1850, GP1850/NT, GP1850F/NT, GP1850W, GP1850W/NT, GP1850WF, GP1850WF/NT), GP7000 (GP7000/NT, GP7000F/NT), GP30, GP1670F, GP1870F, GP-330B series, as well as the NavNet TZtouch, TZtouch2, and TZtouch3 systems. It can also be used with certain Magellan and MLR devices.

« FURUNO GPA-017 GPS antenna: Reliability and integration for marine navigation »

The FURUNO GPA-017 GPS antenna is a fundamental component for any Furuno navigation system requiring a reliable external positioning source. Its value lies in its ability to maintain fast and stable satellite acquisition, even in environments disrupted by signal reflections (multipath effects), a common challenge in coastal navigation or marinas. Designed for seamless integration with Furuno chartplotters in the GP33, GP39, and GP170 series, it ensures these devices perform to their full potential, providing navigators with positioning data accurate to 3 meters.

From an installation perspective, its "easy installation" design and 10-meter cable facilitate optimal positioning on the boat, often at height and clear of obstructions to maximize sky visibility. The IPx7-rated housing and wide operating and storage temperature range (-25°C to +70°C in operation) make it suitable for most maritime conditions, from temperate climates to more extreme environments. It is crucial to ensure compatibility of the TNC-J connector with the host device, though this antenna is specifically designed to integrate within the Furuno ecosystem. For complex systems or vessels, the antenna's support for WAAS/EGNOS/SBAS is an asset, improving accuracy without requiring additional costly equipment.
