It seems UNW don't want anyone to use Antenna? This is from "Silicon Chip" magazine.At CeBIT, I got to chatting to Rolf Roelfsema, Hills
Antenna’s Microwave Product Development Manager. I asked him about that external
Unwired antenna and also about the apparent inability to plug it in!
Almost conspiratorially, he replied "If you – ahem – remove the rabbit ear
you’ll find it plugs into a standard MCX connector. So if you want extra range
or a boost in performance, you can easily do it."
"How can you remove the rabbit ear? There’s not a screw nor a clip anywhere on
the modem that I could find." "It’s really easy once you know how," he said –
and then explained how to do it! "What do Unwired think of this," I asked.
"Unwired don’t condone it," he said. "In fact they say you void the warranty if
you remove the rabbit ear. . ."Incidentally, I understand that since CeBIT,
Hills plan to start talking to Unwired to "legitimise" what is obviously a
win-win situation for both companies
