  1. Thanks for the information.

    You need to female to female connection to go between the end of the short flex off the usb to the long RF cable end.

    The idea of buying the good cable is to reduce the loss, I work in communciations so I know all about this just need to conform the type of connection on the antenna.

    Is this a N type connection????

  2. I have recently had the cat cdma with external antenna installed at my home. I am about 12 KM from the nearest antenna and need this to get the best signal.

    Having read through the topics on here about the cables and connections I am sure I have the typical wrong installation. I know for sure the cable adapter does not fit correctly into the MC760 USB dongle. I will take a guess and say that some of my cable is 75ohm and they have bodged a separate joint of cable to make up the distance using sat tv type connections.

    I am currently out of the country and would like to purchase the correct cable and connections before I head back to Thailand.

    I have found this on ebay for the correct connection to the MC760 (the correct fit)

    This would mean I would need to purchase the following also (adapter between usb flex and main cable)

    And use this cable to connect to the Yagi antenna: (75ft lmr400 50 ohm cable)

    However I would like to confirm the type of connection on the Yagi antenna?

    Can someone please confirm the connection type on the external antenna..

    Much appreciated.

  3. Its an in between technology using CDMA not up to 3G quality. But like you I have just installed this and it is way better than anything else up country.

  4. Irish Clock, I live 100km outside Udon and make the Irish Clock a place I always visit when in town. If you want an overnighter in Udon go to the Top Mansion just a bit further up the road from the Irish Clock. You can also pick up steaks etc from Nobis opposite Top Mansion.

  5. Best option would be like stated above, buy a booster then have an output from your sat box and feed it to the booster and then onwards to your rooms.

    There are some RF all in one remotes that will also work over greater distances/obstacles.

  6. Been doing this for ages. Got an Iphone from 02 Uk and then jailbreak and unlock it. all the info is on www.iclarified.com.

    Then just pop in any SIM you want.

    Do not get one of the mobile shops to do this for you as it will lock your phone up to the itunes of the computer that you load it from.

  7. Its a big scam. I have had a few of these email recently. They hack peoples email account and send an email supposedly from your friend saying I have purchased this from this site...

    They are operating on a few different site names. This is the third one of have seen now but all using this ele name at the beginning.

    Its too good to be true and who would operate a site like this using a hotmail account...

    KEEP CLEAR

  8. I have the PSI sat system and there is no way I would recomend it. Ok for Thais, to watch there crap "movies". Just full of junk Thai and Indian channels. Also got UBC, that I used to activate everytime I was back in Thailand, but now I have heard that you can only reactivate for a minimum of 3 months..

    I looking at getting something new that I dont have to worry about, I have been to a few hotels that have all the channels and the south african sports channels, so I think thats the way I am going to go..

  9. I am in the same situation. Got the iphone but had to get the contract to get the phone and never use the minutes. I also use my phone while working abroad so wanted a proper UK number, if you get a pay as you go, with most networks you end up with this crap method of having to text to make a phone call when roaming.

    I have unlocked and Jailbroke the ipone 3g and use it everywhere.

    I also have a Nokia I use as a standby incase of any problems.

    If you have internet, you can share the wireless from your laptop to the iphone and use skype also.

  10. Going to Hua Hin for my first time in a week or so. looking forward to it. I live up country but still like the break away and explore a bit of Thailand when I can.

    From what I have read here, the things you are looking for are all the european refinements.

    I have been to Samui already it was ok for a few days but not my idea of Thailand, its over influenced by European style.

    Hopefully HH will be a bit of a change to this.
