Hiya,

Has anyone tried this combination? If so, does it improve reception in built up areas?

Cheers,

Ots

The 3450 is much better at bringing in signal than previous 3000/3400/3420 sleeves, so you should be okay without an MCX antenna. However, if you do want an MCX, you will get a little more signal if you placed it on the roof of the car, as it then has a much better view of the sky.

Just a suggestion, but you might save £10 if you order one from Performance Products on 08707 870700. Their aerial, which came with my Snooper S6R-Neo costs £34.95 plus p&p, and works equally well with my Navman 3450. :D

Not official Navman.. but same spec, shape and size.

Wow, at that price I might get a spare myself! Do you know the manufacturer's code? I can't find it in the GPS section and searching for MCX produces no results.

Sorry to be a pain, but I still can't find this on Dabs.com's website! The fast link didn't work, neither did a search for antenna, etc. Heeeeelp.

Morning Tim,

If you look at the title of the post that states the price, you'll see it's a link for www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk..

Just click the link on the right of this page ;)

Aaargh. I was fixated on your earlier 'I'll order one from Dabs' post and didn't even look at the title! Cheers.
