Mine's black and stubby! :lipsrsealed: :grin:

You changed yours then?

Mines Black,.......& Looooooooooooooong  :smug: :smug: :smug:

Well standard really  :grin:

Yeah the silver one was starting to look a bit weather worn.

This new black one seems to work fine and I can still get traffic recetion on my DNX 7200 as well as the radio channels I have tuned into originally :cool:

It's about 5" long with a bobble on the end...ooerr!
