Replacement Patchwork antenna

[YELROM]

My Patchwork Go is not working properly as it keeps loosing signal and seems to have me driving all over
Tried up dating software to latest version but still no better, so spoke to patchwork and they said it seemed like the antenna was faulty, but as mine was an older antenna it is around £700 instead of the new style ones which are £75.
Has anyone any other ideas what might be wrong with it or a cheaper supplier of an antenna

If it's losing signal give the connection between the cable and the receiver a good look mine came apart and caused similar problems. Got a replacement cable which has a quick fit connection and it's just as bad I ended up bodging up the old 1 to get it to work again.

Thought that was normal for a patchwork, mines a pr*ck at the best of times!

has the cable been pinched in a door or window,or more likely loose connection in the plug,may just need taking apart and resoldering.

I have unplugged the wires on the antenna and tested them for continuity back to the socket that joins to the screen but they test ok.

Sounds like the fault is inside the antenna ,what is the signal strength?on my advance it's 4 bars full signal,I have just bought an antenna off eBay for mine.

It started by loosing signal but now it doesn't seem to get a signal at all
Does your original antenna look like the white one above

My antenna is the little patch one,and an £8 one off eBay.

Is your receiver built into the white antenna?

 

[YELROM]

My antenna has the tilt compensation built in it(not sure if yours does?)
When you take the white cover off there is a circuit board in there
