Basically what you would consider a "cantenna" they actually work quite well..

is a site that details the making, and fine tuning prodecures to make sure you capture the signal you want and places to get parts to make them.

| Im sure it really works that simply. The modem is already tuned to the frequency it wants to pick up. All the pie tin does is serve as a reflector to collect extra signal.
Just like a soup or coffee can with the correct parts can provide just as big of a gain. May seem funny- but thats just the simplicity of an antenna. -- Hn7000s Small Office plan/.74m dish & 1Watt Trans on Satmex 5 Signal: 86/Win XP Pro SP2/P4 3gig, 2Gigs Ram, Radeon X1300 500meg video |

| reply to hitman_001 OI wonder how he keeps the water out of the can? I didn't see any drain holes for it. Unless he uses a plastic cover like. I have two of these I might give it a try. Dave -- Sprint Mobile Broadband
