|
|
I have a Lowe antenna which I used to use with my Garmin GPS II and tomtom running on an ipaq.
I have now got myself a Garmin streetpilot i3 which uses the MCX connector for the external antenna.
Does anyone know where I can get a cable to convert from BNC to MCX? |

Have a look at THIS although a search via altavista or google will return a number of options, simply enter "MCX to BNC" in the search engine (include the quotes as well), have a look around and there are loads listed, the one I have linked to is random from many - check for price/ delivery etc - Mike |

To be honest I would go with the new external antenna, as an addaptor cable means more insertion loss which will futher degrade the signal. I have no experiance of the unit you linked to but it should work OK, do you really need the external unit as I find my i3 works fine? - although I am not constrained by a heat reflective windscreen etc - Mike |

I haven't used it much but I just wanted to find out what I needed to get if I did find that I needed an external antenna. I only have a normal windscreen so I dont really expect to have any problems. |
