There are companies selling longer antennas for the v400.

Do these longer antennas really help at 1900 and 850 mhz?


It may depend on the antenna. If they are made correctly longer antennas
will have more gain. If not made correctly they may not have any more
gain
and may have less.


gain is had by reducing gain in other directions. There is nothing to
guarantee that using a gain antenna will cause an improvement;
the opposite may happen. Especially if the antenna is tilted.
