Commlinx were the Aust agents for Laipac and offered a fairly decent magnetic active (5V) patch antenna with MCX/OCX or SMA connector at a reasonable price. However since that site was taken over by Laipac, the only options appear to be to pay double to some other sources or order direct from Laipac and pay a ridiculous ($US35) shipping/handling charge.
Anyone know of another source for these for

Quite possibly. What connector is on the end? My GPR Rx has MCX. What I would have been sourcing from Commlinx was an ant with an SMA, and an adaptor lead SMA bulkhead to MCX as I want the Rx boxed up and with a bulkhead SMA for the ant system.
Being Trimble, it'll probably be like the Garmin bits. Think of a number, double it, add ....
But thanks.

SMA
Sorry, should have said. It's an SMA, I used one of their SMA/BNC adapters with it.

why bother with rhe antenna
I could answer that two ways.
Because the Rx I have needs one.
Because the item you referenced doesn't do what my Rx does.
