    I am looking for the long antenna mast. They are about 8 or 9 inches long.
    I think they are CDPD or RIM??


    Thanks

    Wanna run an SMA connector out the side and couple it to a mag mount wifi antenna with a 6 foot lead?

    Unfortunately... I think I sold all my other modded antennas for use with the CF-28... Converting the RIM antenna to an acceptable wifi antenna.

    I may have one for you, if I yank one off one of the cdpd unit I have.

    I know I have some short ones laying around.

    STATUS REPORT.

    I looked at all my toughbooks, and only three have the long antenna, one a cf-28 that is listed on our ebay page, and then two cf-72 units. I have three more of the shorter ones, but they are on cf-29s, and one of those is listed on ebay as well.

    If the 28 doesnt sell, I'll yank off the antenna if you dont find one sooner.

    Sam

    And I'll PM Teo, ref the short one, thanks...

    Yes the one on that CF 28 is the long one that I am looking for. That motherboard that you think is a 1.4, does it have the rear usb port?

    Thanks
