I need an antenna for a Garmin 2006C GPS. Are Garmin antennas specific to certain units or will any Garmin Antenna work with any Garmin unit?
 
I have to double check but I think the newer version that does NMEA2000 also has a NMEA0183 output.

Thanks Bill. I need to et a new antenna for the unit Joe is sending to me.
 
Let me e-mail Joe (Shoes?) I may have him mixed up with another poster but I thought I sent him a BNC connector and a spare crimp tool to repair what I thought was his GPS about 2 years ago. I may have this mixed up Greg. Although I am pretty sure the 2000 series GARMIN units are NMEA0183.
 
Call Les he should have a GPS antenna in stock for the 2006c.

Your memory is good but I used your crimpers and connectors for a radio.

But I am looking to find Greg an antenna for the GPS.

Joe, is it a NMEA0183 antenna multipule small wires? If so I can check tomorrow I may have a spare I could give Greg. The marina is closed now so I can't get to my spare parts up in the 2nd floor of the mechanics shop. It's a big if but if I have one I can have it sent out via UPS on Monday. If I don't have a spare I will know by tomorrow morning and report back.

I retract my previous post about e-bay, I just looked and they don't seem to have any 17 HVS antennas. A google search turned up quite a few but WOW are they pricey, $150+. Why did Garmin dicontinue this? old tech?
 
Probably so they could get you to buy a whole new unit.

Have you contacted Garmin? They may have a different antenna that will work.
 
The 2000 series was the beginning of the Garmin MFD line the GPS it uses is not just an antenna but a GPS antenna and a WAAS receiver that connects the outputs to a NMEA0183 interface hence the higher cost.

Gotta love BoaterEd helpfulness!! You just don't get this elsewhere!!
 
I don't have a spare I just checked. Now I remember where it went to my slip neighbor when he bought my old 3205.
I'm pretty sure Les will have the GPS-17X.
