[QUOTE="condor22, post: 559085, member: 1932"] Great Job there NJ. I thought about coming from the step but had reasons for going through the peep hole method. Will keep the Yagi Drawing. The antenna already had the cable and FME attached so going high meant that I can do a quick jiggle around an upper cupboard inside and tuck the cable on top of the pelmet above the dinette window. This almost hides the cable and leaves it with enough length to attach the patch lead and the phone with a bit to spare. If I went down the pole, up through the step, then back up to the cupboard etc I'd need another 5 or so metres of cable than as is. Your phone looks like my old phone, not in size or shape, but as in "Dinosaur". As I mention Telstra are turning 3G of by Jun 2024. What they are not saying as far as I can tell is how. Optus are starting now and gradually phasing out 3G without a finish date and Vodaphone have made no announcement. So, worst case scenario - Telstra may well turn off 3G for the next 4 years, which means if you have a 3G phone, it will gradually become a "Boat Anchor". I figured may as well change now while a phone with an antenna port is still on the market. :) [/QUOTE]
