Size of external antenna on SPV?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just moved, and I barely don't get coverage at my house. I can get a signal a couple miles down the road, then I loose it. I am looking into getting an external antenna, but I have no idea what size the hole on the back of my SPV is. Can anyone give me a size? Is there a number, or where can I get one? I tried Radioshack, but they didn't have any that fit properly. Also, would the Radioshack external antenna work, or do I need something a bit larger?

A second question, I am thinking about getting a MPx200. Does it have an external port? Thanks.

This doesn't answer any of your ?'s, but FWIW, I had a MPx200 and its reception was way way way worse than my SPV e100's.

Maybe that wont' matter if you can find an external antenna solution, but ... I was really bummed out because I wanted a flip phone! :)

Really, the reception was worse? I was thinking it might be better because it was newer, but I guess I was wrong. How does the E100's reception compare with the Canary's? Anyone know?

I know you're not supposed to compare signal bars to signal bars (on different phones), but .... :)

I work in a weak RF-signal area. The MPx200 got NO SIGNAL (i.e. couldn't do anything with it). The SPV e100 gets 1-2 bars, ... no problems using it.

Thanks for the link, but I already have my MPx200 now, so I can't use any external antenna anymore. Guess I will just have to wait for T-Mobile to increase their coverage.
