Quick Update...

Just fitted mine and it works great. Good reception (at least as good as the original) and easy to unscrew for protection.
It was a bit confusing to fit as Nakatanenga provide their adapters extra to the Hirschmann bits - there were several pieces "left-over" (always makes me nervous).

All in all, I'm very happy - despite being a little poorer Laughing

Cheers

Embarassed I made a mistake on the last pallet order which arrived yesterday.

I forgot to include them Embarassed

We have another delivery next week so will see if I can get them included in that order.

We get regular deliveries from Nakatanenga, so if it is on their websites we can supply it.

These back in stock yet Brendan? Couldn't see them on the site.

Fingers crossed they should be on our next consignment.

Am not sure if Tuesday is a holiday in Bavaria or not Question

So they should be with us soon, along with a few more new items for us Thumbs Up

We get regular consignments from Nakatanenga varying from a single carton to a couple of pallets at a time.

We are at the mercy of couriers but transit time is normally 2-3 days, unless the courier imps decide to misplace a consignment. We have had a delivery stuck in a depot 25 miles away for a week Big Cry

There are lots of new stuff in the pipeline, sometimes they go from design to production smoothly and quickly. Sometimes items are put to 'sleep' then I get my poking stick out and try to jolly things along a bit with mixed results.

Just one last feedback - I have been using the Nakatanenga/Hirschmann antenna for a few weeks now and I can't fault it.
Reception is definitely better than the original telescopic (especially in tunnels and garages).
All in all, worth the sponds... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

Easy, it is a 5 minute job. Just unscrew the original antenna under the wing and replace with new one. I used the old cable using a female antenna connector, did not want to feed the new cable through the firewall.
I bought the new antenna in a Dutch Car Parts Shop for under € 10, but I wonder if they will post to Hong Kong - that would make it an expensive antenna anyway... Cheers, Vincent

VeeTee, Thank you for the reply, IS the old cable easy to wire up? Bow down
