What
type of connectors do antennas have?
 Antennas
come equipped with standard connectors such as TNC
Male, Mini-UHF Male and FME
Female.
What
are some ways to attach an antenna to my phone?
A few phones (such as Motorola Bag Phones) come equipped with
a standard connector. Nothing else is needed. However, most phone
RF connectors are not standard so they require an adapter.
What
if my phone doesn't have a standard connector?
 There
are installable hands free kits that come with antenna adapters
that will fit one of these standard antennas. There are also External
Antenna Adapters (or RF Adapters) that allow you to attach an
antenna directly to your phone. This type of adapter is usually
a short thin wire with a connector to your phone on one end and
a standard antenna connector (TNC Female,
Mini-UHF Female or FME
Male) on the other.
Where
can I find these External Antenna Adapters?
AlternativeWireless.com carries a wide variety of External Antenna
Adapters. The best way to find the right adapter for your phone
is to use the menu on the left to find your phone's make and model.
If an External Antenna Adapter exists for your phone, you will
find it on your phone's accessory web page. We have also put together
kits for our most popular antennas that include the antenna and

Many
of today's cellular and digital PCS phones are equipped with RF
ports which enable you to connect an external antenna to your
phone. RF ports may be located on the back of your phone and others
may be located at the bottom of your phone.
If a phone does not have an RF port, adapters might be made to
slip over the phones attached antenna or, for phones with internal
antennas, just clip to the phone passing the RF signal through
the phone's body.
