Think that is the sensor for the magnetic direction finder. You can read the compass heading on your Javalena monitor.

I am not certain, but I would guess a satellite ant for XM or Sirius maybe.
I have the magnetic compus on my 320, but do not recall seeing anything on roof like the pix.

The XM radio sounds good but could also consider for a cell booster re: similar to a Wilson Booster.

It is the compass head. At least on mine it is.

George, that looks like an older model GPS antenna I had for an old Garmin on my old boat.
