    Hi all,

    I'm am in the market for a Sony-Ericsson GC83 card along with the proper antenna pigtail adapter so that I can use the OEM antenna on my Mk3 TB. The carrier will need to be AT&T

    Thank you

    Dan..

    Antenna pigtail? BIG problem! :eek:

    My suggestion: contact eBay seller Deal_Train and see if they are willing to sell you a separate pigtail from one of the CF-29HTM50BM systems they have in stock.

    Sure won't hurt to ask. :D

    That's the antenna lead wire: the pigtail plugs into it and connects the lead to the card.

    Pigtail photo

    The brass connector on the (photo's) left is the 90° connector shown in the lead cable photo. The pigtail is the gray cable assembly shown in the above-linked photo.

    THAT is the elusive item.

    I've ordered a few of the pigtails, check out the CF-29 official thread.
    I'll probably put the extras up in this section when they come in.

    I'm getting a custom order from an outfit on flebay (more on that in the official CF-29 thread). I'm not sure if they will fit your card, TopCop may be able to answer that one, as I believe he has a few different models of the sierra cards and the GC83 as well.
    When they come In (things take a while from China) I'll offer up the extras here. I ordered 10, I'll keep 3, TopCop wants 2 so that will leave 5. I'll figure out the price w/ shipping and all when they arrive, probably be around $9.00.

    Do you know if these fit an aircard 860 and reach to the little board that sits in a cf18 for the docking station to connect to?

    Cheers,
