[OZAPRS] MMCX->MCX adapters?

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

Thanks Terry,

Bruce seems to have all the bits, so have sent him an email asking  
about getting an adapter cable done up..

Was going to go Farnell (as I have an account with them, which I don't  
with WES), as after doing some playing, I'm not sure if it's this  
GPS15H is dead, or just the antenna that I bought with it, as it's not  
getting a lock even after telling it it's location and time and then  
sitting for an hour, so was going to try and get the 0.8mm pitch JST  
connector to get the fastrax gps i bought going.. but they're only in  
stock in the UK?!  not sure why farnell aren't keeping stuff in stock  
in .au anymore :(  That and I'd have to buy a 100m role of the IDC  
cable to go with?!  Blegh, might end up doing this holiday without any  
gear in the car..  Ahh well, I guess it'll save a bit of a fit-out  
rush on the car over the next couple of days..  Should have tested the  
GPS before I went and ordered the 30m whip and other bits though :\

Cheers,

Damien
