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.

I've not used my 60CSx with an antenna, but I often place the unit in
my jacket pocket and it works anyway, without needing an external
antenna. Are you sure you really need one?
