Anyone know where I can buy an MMCX plug like this to suit my GPS antenna. The existing plug got squashed and is stuffed.

Just looked at jaycar site. They don't have what you want but maybe they might in an actual store. They do have similar plugs though.

I looked at both the Jaycar and Dick Smith sites and neither had the plug. Jaycar has adapters from SMA but that is getting to bulky for a little MMCX connection to handle.

I found a US online supplier but I'll see what I can turn up in Oz shops.

Interesting that you can get a new antenna from ebay delivered from Hong Kong for less then a new plug on its own.

Dick Smith are a waste of time for parts these days - they only want to sell big screen TVs cameras and phones.
