Antenna connection issue - GPSMap 76CS

Since I got my 76CS, I’ve used it extensively with a Gilsson antenna (for hiking, x-country skiing and bicycling) and it has worked beautifully. However, recently it has started to lose its lock on satellites when using the antenna. It seems that there is some sort of issue where the antenna connects to the GPSR. I've tried three different Gilsson antennas (all with right angle cable connectors) and the problem persists, so I’m pretty sure it is not simply the antenna. I can turn the connected cable a little and recover the satellite lock, but a few minutes later it will loose the lock again – so it definitely seems to be at the connector. Has anyone else had this problem when using a powered antenna? I really like the way the 76CS works with an antenna because it enables me to do many activities hands free with the 76CS in a pocket - which also keeps the batteries warmer than when left out in the open.
