Help with USB bluetooth external antenna project..

[Blacktek]

So i have this BT USB dongle and i need it to cover a wider area, The question that i have is WHERE DO I SOLDER the middle middle wire..i know that the outer layer goes to ground but I believe i have to bypass a few caps or resistors to connect my new omni directional antenna. I have photos of the device and The SChematic for the IC CHIP.

AWESOME i'll give that a try... I actually have a 16dbi onmi directional antenna..i read somewhere that some of the component in the antenna circuitry makes it differentiate between diapole and omnidirectional..something like that..but I'll give this a try. thankx a lot.

Re: Help with USB bluetooth external antenna project..

the only way to surf in secret is to hack someone elses wifi using a virgin mac address and Linux.

and soon as you go anywhere that needs a login you can be spotted.

If 30m till not enough, one way to extend to 1000ft , I could tell you but I'd have to kill you.

pic2: connect wire go as far as you what , to you next, next door neighbor.

pic3: with one HV caps connect to antenna, other side to the AC plug, use your whole house electrical wires as antenna.

PS: Danger!!!! on your own responsibility
