GPS external antenna socket

[C R McClenaghan]

As an impulse buy, I bought a Gilsson Technologies external GPS  
antenna. It was the only one the store had and it came with 4  
adapters, one seems to work. I get an apparent boost (30-50%???) in  
signal strength. I have removed my Micro SD and have only used it with  
a few times. The model "number" appears to be: FME.
