Interesting, if true, that an aviation product would have magnets that do
not work on aluminum or composites, and might mess up navigational
instruments.

If they do, removing the magnets may void the warranty, but how much could
you mess up an assortment of wire and plastic. Not something I would lose
sleep about doing. g


Well, I removed them from the GPS-10, and that was probably more
difficult than it will be to remove them from the 396 antenna, and it
wasn't all that difficult.

I suspect that there are magnets in the base for auto/marine use. There
were also magnets in the base of my XM antenna, but those were easy to
remove.
