G300 Antenna socket?

[Guest Mattmac]

Hi,

Does anyone know what the 'U.FL' type rf socket (just above the screw on the right between battery and SD slot) is for exactly?

Presumably it's for an external antenna for either the phones WIFI or Mobile phone signal?

If anyone can shed any light on this or maybe there's a technical diagram or spec out there somewhere?

It would be handy to know for wardiving/weak signal areas etc.. ;)

It is for GSM/3G signal, same port as on Nokias (i do not know exact type name), external antena works perfect for me for GSM 900/1800, not tested 3G on 2100.

EDIT: Antena has MCX90 conector.

It is not MMCX connector ? MCX and MMCX are not the same.

[Guest MioCZ]

No, IT IS MCX90 (on antenas cable), mmcx has center pin on socket side, mcx has center pin on conector side, so and antena manufacturer sell it as MCX90 conector antena

I would like to know what connecter this is too.The same connecter is on the ZTE Blade and ZTE Skate.

Having looked at this link I think it may be a MMCX connecter,but I cant be sure.
