USB 720 Modem
I have the same EVDO Modem from Verizon. I ordered an external
antenna from Verizon when I bought the modem. It plugs into the hole under the little flap next to the green light. The antenna is about 6" tall with a magnetic base and about a 12' or 15' cord. Often it works just fine sitting next to a window. (As I type this, I have all bars on (best reception) and the antenna is sitting about a 6 inches from the glass.) Often, I just set the antenna on the window sill. If the reception isn't all that good, I'll put the antenna out the window and stick it to the side of the coach -- moving it around sometimes will "find" a sweet spot. In a really bad reception area, I've put the antenna on the top of the coach. That usually does just fine. I've considered getting a cell phone signal amplifier (it picks up all cell signals with an external antenna and rebroadcasts them inside the coach). But I haven't gotten to the point where I really need it. Often I get a better signal on the EVDO modem than I get on my Verizon cell phone.
