Anyone that wanted an external car antenna and cradle for their isatphone pro would have soon decided that its not really a must have item after finding out they were around the $2500 mark .

Good news email from my sat phone provider (TC Communications) that they have a new product, Passive mobile Antenna & car cradle kit for around $434. They have limited stocks & are being offered to their own account holders before being released to the general public.

Rec'd mine today, just 2 problems.
The passive antenna has two LMR-240 coax cables, one for GPS & one for Satphone, they are only about 1.5m long & can not be extended without degrading the reception.. The Antenna mount is magnetic.

So Im going to have to rivet a piece of sheetmetal to the Defender roof to mount it & drill a couple of holes in the roof & pass the cables thru some Glands. Something I dont really want to do..

cant really think of any other mounting options, open to suggestions.
