Thorn,
Why only one antenna? I have been playing around with this same setup. My first mistake was to use RG-58 instead of LMR 195. I figuared a 2' jummper wouldn't be a big deal. Was I wrong! Anyway I finally got LMR and made new jummpers and it worked much better but not much more than the 2.2 dBi antennas that come with it. When I did a outdoor test I got about 150' more distance out of the high gain antennas (8dBi). I used a 5dBi gain mobile antenna on my truck and made 2 runs. One with the 8dBi and one with the stock antennas. I set the access point on the cooler in the driveway and did my test. I was hoping for better results. If you add my gain in distance to a circle I got 300 more feet coverage. It would be nice if I could see a RF level graph on the AP to see if the high gain antennas hears any better. The next step is an AMP 250 or 500 mW, and a longer run of LMR 195 or 400 to the roof.

Thanks for any input!
