    I recently purchased a CF-52 with GOBi and want to connect connect it to an external antenna instead of using my Verizon aircard. There does not seem to be a RF pass through port on this model. I tried to locate a docking station with the the port, but have not had luck. My question is, is there any way to connect it to Verizon with an external antenna?

    I have 2 different docking stations for the 52 and none of them have the port.

    That is correct. The CF-53 does have external pass through optional, but not the CF-52 that I am aware of.

    Doesn't exist for the 52.

    They're making 53's more friendly for in vehicle use with the smaller, yet MUCH brighter TOUCHscreen and GPS. The 52's are being marketed primarily towards office use.
