    Hello,

    I am using the BerryGPS-IMUv4 in a robotics project where both the 9 meter cable length of the larger antenna and the 2.5 cm cable length of the smaller ceramic antenna are inconvenient.

    Is it possible to either add an extension for the smaller antenna or trim and splice the coaxial cable of the larger antenna? If so, will a modified coax cable suffer performance loss?

    No. As long as all the connections are clean and you make sure GND continues along the length of it.

    I’m not sure I understand. Does this mean checking continuity across the wire with a multimeter?
