    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me of a UK source for a 6310i Rear Aerial Socket
    Connector Plug? I have managed to boost my reception signal using an
    old car kit aerial but it's a bit of a lash-up because the co-ax lead
    is just poked into the socket on the back of the phone - I need a
    proper plug to terminate the co-ax to for a reliable connection.
    Any help would be gratefully received!

    Regards,

    Gordon Jago.

    Why not fit a proper CARK-91 kit..? They're cheap enough on eBay and they
    work *very* well. You'll have to do something soon anyway if you want to
    stay legal.

    Thanks Ivor. I should been more explicit. The signal strength where I
    live is very poor but I improved things a little using a spare car kit
    aerial placed 10 feet above my office in the loft! I now need a proper
    plug to terminate the co-ax cable onto the phone. I had considered
    using the full car kit but permanent hands-free and sorting 12 power
    supplies was too much hastle.

    Sorry, didn't realise you were talking about non-mobile use..! Perhaps a
    move to a network with better coverage might be in order..? I'm not sure
    that a plug to suit would be available as a separate item but I may be
    wrong.

    AFAIK, they are a standard plug type, should be able to find a matching one
    in RS / Maplin catalogues or equivalent.

    Thanks Martin. I'll take a look in Maplin. GJ.

    'just getting back to this after some time away. Thanks for the URL. I
    investigated this and even better was that fact that they sell booster
    aerials together with a cable kit to plug into the back of the phone.
    It turns out that car aerials are little better than equalisers to
    compensate for the dB loss through the car bodywork so don't really
    help much in this application.

    Thanks again. Once I try the aerial I'll return to this and post an
    update on the booster aerial.
