The question antenna has received a transmission:
Morning I have a 597e Air card, which I use as my only means of connection as I am not on a landline, here. I see it has a socket for a extension aerial, Orb has no knowledge of any device can you advise me please? Looking at the data on thedropdown its running at 115.2 Kbps Just wondering if I can get better reception somehow? Thanks a lot..
This question has so many components to it, I barely no where to start, but let’s take a crack at it.

MemberIf you look at the Sierra connection monitor software (the thing that looks like a fake LCD control panel), how many bars of signal strength does it show?
Does it indicate that you have a 1X connection? It will say '1X' on the panel.
If you only have a couple of bars signal strength, then you could benefit from an external aerial.
The telecom shops here used to sell a small plastic omnidirectional aerial you could clip on to a laptop, looked like a plastic spatula about 150mm long.
Other than that, I guy I know who uses a USB T3G modem has a directional Yagi aerial that he reckons gives him 2Mb about 10km from the Hunua tower.
If you are in NZ,check out cellutronics anyway, I know they can give you advice on the Sierra cards
