 We are in the process of adding an external GPS antenna to our board and following the guides in the documentation feels a bit risky since names for circuit board parts have changed and sometimes a switch or similar is referenced to in the documentation</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 20 May 2019 08:46:32 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/47331/detailed-instructions-for-connecting-external-gps-antenna-to-nrf9160-dk-v-0-8-3" /><item><title>RE: Detailed instructions for connecting external GPS antenna to nRF9160-DK v.0.8.3</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/187822?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2019 08:46:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:4b6bd754-4fe7-456c-bcd1-f48fb1f3191b</guid><dc:creator>Amanda Hsieh</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Yes, J6 will switch to the external antenna when connected.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Run newest modem firmware with GPS sample in NCS,&amp;nbsp;then its go time!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I checked the post but my board looks different. It looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/pastedimage1558003197596v1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I cannot see U33, U34 or SW12 on my board. So I guess I would connect the external antenna to J6 but how do I disconnect the A2 antenna and what else needs to be done so that the external antenna functions properly?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kind regards&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Samuel&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Detailed instructions for connecting external GPS antenna to nRF9160-DK v.0.8.3</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/187415?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 May 2019 07:15:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:79f50697-c5ab-4bfd-9a8a-d1ac5116cb59</guid><dc:creator>Amanda Hsieh</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please see &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/support-private/support/227489"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt; which just with the passiv antenna, but the prinsiple is the same.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Therefore, you can skip the parts connected to the passiv antenna. But you need to have some isolation between the GPS antenna and the LTE antenna.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Amanda&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
