Yesterday the magnetic antennae on my leica mojomini came off tractor and hit the road. Needless to say its dead.
Been quoted 900 +vat for a replacement .
At that price its probably better to just get an entire new set up.
Patchwork Trimble Topcon all coming in more or less the same. Teejet matrix 430 a little less. Is it all down to dealer or are some better than others.?

They all do the same thing so more your preference I'd say

...or you could just buy a decent quality replacement antenna for a fraction of the price of a Leica boxed one

Any chance of a nudge in the right direction or an example?
I would be concerned about buying one and then finding out that the two components wouldnt talk to each other.
There was a wireless connection on mine.
This post possibly will highlight my lack of tech knowledge.
If I could get a reasonable antennae for a fraction of the price with the assurance that it would work , well that would definitely appeal.

Yeh sorry I was having a brain fart when I scribbled that. Unlike a cheap Trimble receiver, the mojo mini antenna is actually more of a receiver than a plain antenna. So yeah your bummed getting the Leica unit as spares or get a complete new unit altogether.
