    Starlight5 Yes, I'm a cat. What else is there to say, really?

    @Shawn CB-160H has different antenna connectors (MHF4), making replacement more difficult than expected.

    Thanks. I was aware of that. I can get adaptor pigtails for cheap. I will replace the entire cable or antenna if needed.
    The CB160H has mhf4 antenna connectors and the Intel uses U.FL.

    And what have we found out about sensitivity between the two??

    I have the 6300 from you and a pair of Taoglas antennas that will be 'extras' once i get the cables for the new AW card w/Taoglas antennas. I was thinking of putting them into one of the CF31s I have up for sale and testing them side by side.

    A side by side test sounds great
