Found out when I was looking for one that the AS-4333/V specified for the PLGR is actually the AeroAntenna Technology AT575-29. If you go to Ebay and key in "AT575" in the search box, you regularly come up with a bunch for sale with and without the magnetic base for under $20 bucks (there are two-three right now as a matter of fact), but the trick of course is to find the weird-ass Rockwell PLGR antenna cable to hook it up to the PLGR. I fluked out on the one I found about a year ago and haven't come across one since, though if you feel like opening your wallet you can get the cables through Rockwell-Collins still -- or better still get them from where RWC gets them...which is 3D Marketing...at between $75-$85 depending on whether you want the 5 meter or 10 meter one. Their price on the antenna hockey-puck itself is...heart stopping...so hit up Ebay.
Found these on ebay and bought them. What does the cable actually hook upto?

I have a few of those too. Near as I can figure, the cable itself is meant to hook into the back of the SINCGARS vehicle mount at the GPS connector, as it won't hook up to a PLGR with that cable, though the antenna itself will work if you have the appropriate cable for the PLGR.
It won't however work with a DAGR. If you try, you'll get "ANTI-JAM ANTENNA communication lost. Check cable..." as it recognizes it's hooked up to an external antenna system - just not the *right* external antenna system.
I think I've had them working with the Trimble Centurion/ SAGR/ ASN-169s but *not* the SLGR/ Trimpack. I'd have to go re-check though as I've sort of forgotten what I've tried with which, and my work table currently looks like the aftermath of an explosion at a mad scientist's laboratory.
Austin Aviation frequently has the correct cables for that antenna when used with the PLGR - and NOS to boot - so go through his listings if you need the cable.
