| 868520 | 2010-03-19 19:45:00 | I have read all the articles on constructing a cantenna and other similar antennae but nowhere does any article tell me how to couple it to my plugless USB modem. Is there some sort of cradle or sleeve I can build to convey the signal from the antenna to the modem without taking the modem apart? |

| 868522 | 2010-03-19 22:22:00 | What brand/model is the modem? You'll need at least some external socket like these to connect an external aerial (or to adapt to an aerial from inside the modem (DIY)). wireless.gumph.org |

| 868523 | 2010-03-20 10:47:00 | Thanks for the response guys. I really appreciate it, but you are all missing the point just a tad. Constructing the antenna is not the problem. My Huawei K3715 modem does not have a jack that can take an external antenna, It either has to sit out in the rain or lie in a cradle or be fitted with a sleeve. There are commercial sleeves and cradles available here where I live in South Africa but they are expensive and I am, as my username initials imply, a 75 year old, Geriatric Old Fart living on a state pension. I would include a photo of a sleeve here if I knew how. It looks like a thick rubber band with a short cable attached to it and it slides over the USB stick modem. They can be viewed athttp://www.sales@poynting.co.za My question is:- Can you assist me with a design for building such a sleeve or cradle? |
