Dear Chris:

Others have pointed out the expected large loss in the RG58 type coax
and the difficulty in designing an antenna to cover the two bands that you
mentioned.

You may find the FCC ID number of your phone/card and go to the FCC's
site to learn the band or bands that your communication device is able to
operate on. It is possible that the device is only able to operate on one
band. I have heard of cases where a device was able to operate on more than
one band but needed the operator to execute an instruction to cause the
device to find the best band. (In other words, apparently some devices do
not ascertain continually what band has the best SNR.)

When you have changed the coax, do report back.

Regards, Mac N8TT
