Dunno how technically-competant I am, but I'm technically-oriented.
Can this be done with GSM phones too? Specifically Moto v180.

I don't know too much about the Motorola handsets, but I know the Nokia ones
are easy to use.

This means that if you buy a PCS antenna, and you are in a cellular market and
you don't have access, to, for example, T-Mobile's network, the antenna will do
you no good, because the antenna will only work with 1900 mHz and your service
will only work 850 mHz.
