Re: Owner Wireless Antenna Pictures Does it really work just by sitting a pie tin behind it like that though?!? Is it really that simple? Or did you haft to do something to it? -- Wildblue Pro Pack / Beam 40 / Laredo NOC / Windows Vista Home Premium |

 | 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 |
