    Halfords were doing them for £1 a while back... Might be worth a try

    I use an external aerial all the time with mine. If you haven't used one before you will be amazed how much more reliable it will be. I bought mine off ebay for a tenner but that was a long time ago now. It plugs into the socket under the little flap on the back of the built in antenna.
    Cheers,

    Yup.. Had to resolder it but the only way to get it 100% was to sit it at a slight angle from the PCB and I had to cut a little of the casing away.

    How do you remove the cover of the PDA????

    I've taken the 4 screws out on the back :confused:

    The external antenna is really powerful compared with the internal one. Yes it is an extra thing to fiddle with while plugging things in but it is worth the effort. The only downside is the tiny little gap you have to leave when you close the car door window, to nip the antenna cable with the window glass. This means it can add a lot more cabin noise while driving on the motorway or other faster than normal roads.
