I have been advised by my Lowrance guy to buy two GPS antenna kits for my Lowrance X-15MT's. Has anyone successfully linked two units to one GPS antenna? I'm told there is an aftermarket splice kit to do this but I have been unable to find any information on it. Thanks, JC

You could try to take the NEMA output from one and wire it to the NEMA input of the other unit.

I think Team Alto has sent you on the right track. That unit has 2 comm channels, com1 can handle sea talk or nmea, com2 is nmea only. I believe you would use the blue and shield wires for com2, then config the unit thru the menus. I connected an autopilot to mine in this manner.
I suppose you could also hook the antenna in parallel to both units, which would certainly work if only one unit was on at a time, don't know what the result would be if both units were turned on though, good luck.
