Graham, could you expand a bit on how to connect the cable to the 3050? As you say, it has a rod aerial.

Lash something up along these lines
The wire from the pin of the aerial socket goes to the aerial rod, and the wire from the shell of the socket goes to ground.
By ground I don't mean mains earth, I mean (in your case) the battery negative spring.
Actually, it will probably work well enough without the ground wire.
I've used a radio to illustrate how to do it, I could't find my little Casio TV.
If you need a plug and adaptor, Poundland do a kit.
PS I still haven't found the Casio, but I've found this picture I took of it doing exactly what you want to do. No ground connection, and perfect picture.
