Any problems with the vTx antenna interfering with the GPS

I've got a 1.3 GHz skew planar wheel on my 550 with a 300mw vTx, I was wondering if there is any interference with it and the GPS antenna? or how close they can be mounted? I've used OSD's with no problems.

1.3 GHz is very similar to Rx for GPS, try to put your transmitter head down under your F550, your reception will be better and you can´t interference...

I don’t think GPS is going to be your problem. More likely you’ll have harmonics interfering with the 2.4 signal to your receiver for control of your copter (unless you’re using UHF). You should use a notch filter for your video TX to help prevent that.

I'll have to move it under the copter, I took it off for now. I've had pretty good luck with 2.4 as long as the vTx power is low. I'll need to order landing gear for it.
