Thanks again 8bit, your blog is a wonderful resource! I now also understand that the internal antennas are connected with spring contacts, not u.fl (though there is a coax carrying LTE to the USB-C PCB where those antenna contacts are).
Inspired by your work, I hooked up an external antenna and was impressed with the results. In fact I used an active antenna (fairly high quality Tallysman) since I had one available, which worked nicely - valid lock within a couple of minutes (indoors) where previously it had never even worked out the time (RMC). The built-in antenna really is woeful.
Now to solder on the coax leads as a semi-permanant solution.
