I don't speak German, but I don't see a lot of technical details on that page; active antenna, magnetic, 5m cable. That is not a lot of information to go on. The key piece of information that seems to be missing is the voltage requirements for the antenna. Another important piece of information would be the signal gain. As far as I know, the freerunner supplies 3 volts to the antenna. I have seen a lot of inexpensive antennae that will work with any voltage between 1.8V and 5V but I have also seen others that will only work with 5V. I am cautious with ebay sellers who don't put basic technical information in the descriptions (unless they have a precise part # and I know what the specs are. in that case I don't care if the seller knows :-) -stacy _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
