    Victor's units have received mixed reviews here. They will work but some have had quality control issues with the boards. I believe that it is not a "sled" but a daughter board which is installed inside the computer, at least that's true on the CF-18 which is the only one I've actually handled.

    I have one of Microsofts external antenna that I don't use. Gotta look and see which one it is though.
