[OSM-talk-ie] Gilsson active antenna

[Patrick Casey]

Hi Christian,

I'm not sure whether it is available OTC in IE. I cannot remember where I
ordered mine - it was some Gilsson website - but it was delivered by post
from Gilsson Germany (possibly their European warehouse).
 You might like to take a look at

It's important to get the one with the right connector for your GPS - mine
was a BNC, for example.

Hi Paddy,

Is this available over the counter in Ireland? I've been considering 
getting an antenna for my 76C for a while, but was put off by the 
mindboggling cost of Garmin's ones.

Cheers

Christian
