Hi there. Simple question really! I am installing a GP39 on my boat and need to remove the coax plug from the antenna cable to pass through bulkheads etc....but how do you remove plug. Manual says remove with 3/8th inch open wrench and needle nose pliers but the plug appears to be a compression fitting. If so what type of plug do I need to source to replace with a removable version? Thanks for any help
 
Looks like they changed it. Looks like TNC compression fitting. Going to have to cut it off and replace. They say don't shorten antenna cable. I assume replacing plug will not make any difference?
 
Yes some of the newer units are no longer using the GPA017 antenna. You must have the newer GPAC01 antenna. I haven't seen the connectors on those. I suspect you are correct you must replace the connector completely.
