Don't forget, you will also need cable which can not be found at radio shack. Perhaps something like LMR400 or an equivalent. You can't use regular coax because the signal would be lost before it hit the antenna. You need low loss cable, and the kind you need can't be found at RS. Definatly hit the local communication places, they should have all you need like N-connectors and low loss cable. Although I don't think you will find the small connectors for pcmcia cards, or RP-TNC connectors that are found on linksys APs locally. http://www.fab-corp.com/ is a great place online to get some of this stuff, although shipping is a little high.
