I am new, I just got the blue kit.
The ferrite antenna has two bare copper wires. One wire has an overhand knot, I assume it is to signify that wire is different from the non knotted wire.
Does it make any difference which wire goes to solder pad +1 and which goes to solder pad -1? I read elsewhere that the loop antennas can be attached either way so I think these probably don't matter either.
Concerning the GPS antenna, does it make any difference whether the antenna is amplified or not? I have ordered one with 25db gain. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KDH...UTF8&psc=1
but it is inexpensive and I can get another if preferable.
Thanks.
