Aircard External Antenna Adapter

[jpbcny]

Looking for some info on a Verizon PC5750 (Pantech) Aircard, does anyone know what type of connector is needed to connect to the cards' external antenna? I already have a external antenna for my WI-FI connection (it uses an MC Card connector for the PCMCIA card), and would like to get an adapter that would enable me to use the antenna for both applications.

Thanks
JP

wifi does not use same frequencies as verizon evdo card would.

3gstore.com also has the adapter cable. When we bought our booster we had to get this cable to mate the booster's cable to the card. We now also have the external antenna plugged into the booster. It mates direct to the booster but would require that same cable to go direct to the card.

Now I'd like to find a cable to use that antenna for our cell phone. The wilson trucker antenna's cable doesn't fit our Nokia phone.

My DW's new Nokia 6205 isn't on the list. Is there any hope for it?

not likely to ever be able to 'direct-wire' an antenna. sorry.
for those phones with no RF jacks, you can consider wireless amps/repeaters.

they provide amplified signal without the need for physical wire to phone, but are pricier and do not offer the best possible signal.

aside from advantage of not requiring physical connection, one other good thing about wireless amps/repeaters, is that they can provide signal gain to multiple phones/devices at the same time.
