    Is there another use for it, maybe GPS ant or WI-FI ant, or is it rated differently?

    Just wondering because I have a spare lid with it.

    Let me know if you want to sell the antenna and corner piece, it is not cut correctly for Wi-Fi.

    You have to be EXTREMELY careful when removing the antenna assembly out of the lid of a CF-29 as they use a silicone adhesive to lock it all in place. Unless all you need is the bump-out, cap and screw in antenna....

    Neverlost..... Yeah.... It's good for WWAN and that is about it. I'm sure it could be modded into a wifi antenna if needed but you already have a great wifi antenna system in the CF-29... Now if it were a CF-28... THAT would be a different story entirely!

    Well... you CAN hack it into a WiFi antenna to use for the dedicated Wireless B connection you need for the CF-VDW07...

    Well... I floated out in the Atlantic on a Pizza Hut Pan Pizza for 7 days.... It is all in the air in the crust you see.... But you need to shellac it first! ;)
