The default antenna on the Garmin GPSMap 196

Hi,

I have been wondering, does the default detatchable antenna that comes on the 196 have any use at all?

I have noticed there is no sattelite signal reception with the detatchable antenna on. The whole thing only works with the remote antenna only. Is this the case with eveyone else?

I find the remote antenna is very inconvenient due to the long length of wire (tho I hate to complain, its a great piece of technology)
