Hi Mikhail, I use a HAMA GPS-ANTENNE MMCX with 2m cable on my FR. It is passiv one with a magnetic base. Just plug it in an start your gps-application.
With the internal gps antenna, the first fix last quite long - with the external - within 5min to 10min I get a fix. > What are the implications of their use with FR (power consumption, > performance, etc)? I use the atenna for GPS Tracking during biking and car tours. As the FR is always running (no sleep) and with activated GPS module - the battery last about 4h - then it's empty. >Should" any antenna with MMCX connector work in FR? I don't know - I stick to the Wiki page and bought an Hama one.
