Hi,
So how does it work "off-air"? I'll
need a shielded cable and attach

on to the antenna pads of the handset?
You need to use a RF 50 ohm coax cable. The Racal has a N connector
and the phone should have one has well. I don't remember the exact
reference of the C123 connector but I know digikey has adapter to SMA
for it, so I use a N to SMA then an adaptor that depends on the phone.
The unit I'm getting should come with a "BNC to N-Type connector" but I
thought n-type was maybe 2cm diameter? The connector on the phone (C139)
is tiny, I have just uncovered it...
If I understand correctly, I need a special connector for the phone and
then maybe another one? eg. N to SMA depending on what the special
connector provides...
Looking on the list archive someone suggested:

But no reports as to whether it worked or not.
Probably I should just get a cheap car-antenna for the phone and rip the
connector out for my own cable...
Thanks
