    1) Name of Product: Not sure of the official name, but this is the screw-in WWAN antenna that threads into the hole in the top left corner of a WWAN-ready CF-30

    2) New, or Used

    3) Picture: [​IMG]
    4) Price: something reasonable

    5) Payment method: Paypal

    6) Shipping method: not in an extreme hurry USPS is OK

    7) Feedback: Check eBay feedback for theoak2

    8) Additional comments about the item: Not the antenna that you have to disassemble Toughbook to install it.

    Keep in mind that the CF-29 and CF-30 WWAN antennas are DIFFERENT LENGTHS and are NOT cross compatible! part numbers below from Heartland:

    CF-29 WWAN Antenna – N1AA91000006 - $16.35
    CF-30 WWAN Antenna - N1AA91000008 - $14.68/each

    Thanks for the heads up Rob. Just to test the WWAN, I have taken the antenna out of my CF-29 and put it in the 30, and it did work, but I presume the correct one would work better.

    Thanks again for your input.

    Yes, you are correct:

    29 will work in the 30 but the 30 will NOT work in the 29... it's too long. (That's what SHE said)... Sorry, had to! :D

    I'm Looking for the CF-30 WWAN Antenna and i saw this and was wondering if Rob or anyone else had one. i found one on eBay but they send the the CF-29 one apparently because it does not go in all the way so i don't know whats wrong. and i cant find any places on opening the antenna compartment to see if there is something in there. I'l appreciate any help :)
