Yes, the GX-55R GPS retrofit system includes a GPS antenna as well. This antenna should have the same footprint as the Loran antennas originally supplied with many of the Apollo Lorans. As long as the Loran antenna was properly installed originally, the GPS antenna should match up and function correctly with no rewiring and repositioning. Please note that this only applies if the Loran antenna is installed on the top of the aircraft. The GPS will not work properly if the antenna is installed on the bottom of the aircraft.
