I've head great things here about the BU-353 so I should have better results when they arrive.

It is WAY better....testing it in the house with it sitting on the window ledge I get 10 out of a possible 12 satellites locked. Locks 10x faster that the earthmate too, incredible! The cable could be a bit longer though....
