Went to Halfords & Currys today & showed them the EMTAC
Halfords were absolutely no help at all
The youth said they do not deal in external aerials
(only interested in selling brand new SatNav )
Currys were a little more helpful
They gave me the contact details of their Partmaster team of "knowhow experts"
Will give them a try ASAP

I should check, the barrel dimension for a cmx connector is 3.66mm, if you google cmx connector their are various dimensional drawings shown _________________ Moto G5s Plus, Sygic 17.4.8 |

Many thanks for all the trouble you've gone to with this AJ
It's a bit baffling that the plug on your aerial measures only 2.4 mm approx
Will get back to you when I've looked into this a bit further

I've found this writeup by Mike Barett of Pocket GPS World
http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/emtac.php
This is this is the same model as mine
He says it is an MCX connector |

It has two further steps, 2.4 being the smallest around the centre pin, it looks like a bit of a universal fitting. _________________ Moto G5s Plus, Sygic 17.4.8 |

MCX plug & jack should fit together then
I could send you a padded bag with some stamps on ?
Or: you may like to let me know the cost & I would PayPal it to you

Just done some further searches and it appears the mio external gps uses a mmcx plug which is a miniature version of the mcx and barrel size is 2.4mm, also came across a couple of sellers showing compatible lists and unfortunately Emtac does not appear on them. _________________ Moto G5s Plus, Sygic 17.4.8 |

Never mind, I'll continue searching around for information
May send for a MCX aerial from eBay now that I've found that PGPSW writeup saying that MCX is the correct one
They are only about a fiver on there
Thank you very much once more for all the trouble you've gone to for me

Sounds like it's worth a punt. You can always return it for refund if it doesn't fit (and if you can be bothered). |
