    Long time lurker, finally took the time to register.

    Recently bought a CF-C2 - i5, 8GB, 250GB Samsung 850 SSD, and WWAN. I love this mean little machine.

    It came with the MC8355 WWAN card, but I'd like to pop a MC7355 in it for LTE. My concern is the GPS antenna connector on the MC7355. I only have two antenna connectors on my current card, and the GPS works. Will the GPS still work on the new card even if I am missing this antenna connector?

    I'm in it for AT&T's LTE. I can add the card to my mobile share plan for $20.

    Any insight is appreciated.

    My bet GPS will not work in this case.
    You can try to use Aux or Main antenna for GPS, maybe LTE will work with 1 antenna :)

    I'm thinking I'll need to get the antenna kit.
