This one's a bit less fuzzy

Zoom is your friend

3.2mm socket internal dia (as previously said)

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 Sad

)

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

Many thanks for all the trouble you've gone to with this AJ Smile

It's a bit baffling that the plug on your aerial measures only 2.4 mm approx Confused

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 Smile

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.

MCX plug & jack should fit together then Confused

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.

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).
