The vendors' arguments for the cable arrangment is that it allows for a more optimal placement of the antenna, but other lore suggests that the cable itself introduces loss of signal. Does anyone have a concrete opinion on this, or can point me in the right direction for some research? -- Brian Reichert <reichert@numachi.com> 55 Crystal Ave. #286 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1725 USA BSD admin/developer at large
