Will a GPS antenna and a Sirius satelite radio antenna placed in close proximity interfere with one another?

I [plan] to install a Sirius antenna on an Outrage 22. I have a VHF on the port rear quarter and a GPS on the starboard rear quarter.

Thanks
Bruce

The antenna for a GPS receiver and the antenna for a Sirius satellite receiver should not interfere with each other because both are just receivers. Neither system is emitting any radiation, or at least they should not be emitting any radiation if they are properly designed.

Thanks Jim
That was my gut feeling I was seeking reassurance, and did not want to screw up my install with an improper location.

Thanks
Bruce
