For me it's not a matter of forcing the issue, it's a matter of keeping
with the character of the home and keeping the wife and neighbors happy...

Most of those no antenna rules can't be enforced. They can control the color of
the antenna. Yes, really. For example, CONUS, you can have any number of 1
meter dishes. You might have to paint the dish.

Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Lucent 40 dB Antenna
Paul,
I believe I read in an earlier post that someone was using one of these with a Tbolt,
which is 5 volts to the antenna. Hope I'm not mistaken! I didn't hear any rattles when I
shook the unit so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. They do appear to be pretty rugged so
I'm hoping for the best. The reply from the seller ignored my poor packing complaint and
said "this is used, it can not all are the same. our guaranteed is you can ask for
refund if it can not works." I assume they have a boatload of them bought very
cheaply and they are playing the odds that they will make more from replacing a few that
don't survive shipping than they would if they spent a bit more on packing material for
all shipments.
We live in a National Historic District so no outdoor antennas here. My
antennas are in the attic above the third floor, putting them about 40 ft AGL.
So far the shingled roof hasn't been a major obstacle and the GPS antennas are
above the HVAC ductwork. I'll see if there's any difference between this
antenna and the HP that's on the Z3816 now.

Steve will be interesting to hear how it goes. Thats a reasonable price it
seems and the antenna looks like it could handle abuse pretty well. Any
idea if its a 5 volt unit or actually any other detail?

Just got mine, from "Just_for_survive" on eBay. Poorest packing job I've
ever seen for an international package. Three wraps of newsprint and a thin
padded envelope. I'll know this weekend if its operational.

My Lucent antenna arrived today. I scrounged some adapters
and connected it to my Thunderbolt. Two birds were visible
with AMU> 4 when I held the antenna. My Droid 3 could not
see any birds through the wet roof.
The unit has some dings and scrapes but no visible corrosion.
I am tempted to take it apart but don't wish to break a unit
which seems to be working well.
Has anyone compared this antenna with the mushroom that
came from China with the used Thunderbolts???
