The having no port is the main problem...That means you
have to use those coupler devices that fit behind the antenna in the phone...Unfortunately, I just had to buy a new phone, and my new one is the same way. No port...They make a sleeve that fits over the top, and has a patch to couple to the internal antenna, but I have to wonder how well it works...Some reports seem lackluster...As far as antennas, I guess it depends on what you want...A connection to a cheap UHF TV antenna might work ok....But most long distance house cell antennas are yagi's that I see sold. Anything commonly used for UHF, could be adapted to cell phone...Often on those freq's, just moving a few feet can make a big difference...So I'd try different locations, and try to find "hot spots"...Thats about where I would mount the antenna if it's not going to be real high... I'd like to find the goofball that decided these phones don't need an antenna port.... ![]() antenna makes a huge difference out on the interstates... MK |
