This question takes this discussion even more off topic. I just acquired a 2.4GHz phone system. I works really well, except when I need to go trough a concrete wall! I was wondering if anyone can suggest specs for an antenna that I can mount on the other side of the wall to get back the range that I have become accustom to? Also, is it possible to attach this external antenna onto the existing one in the base or will I have to crack open the case to attach it to the PCB directly? I know nothing about RF and need as much info as I can get. Thanks. David B. >>That's the difference between the aerials .I.e.
