[MLB-WIRELESS] Brand New 2.4ghz Conifier 18 dbi and 24dbi Antenna's for sale..(Pre Modded)

Mon Jun 2 13:07:22 EST 2003

If these are being "modded" - I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole.

Stick with homebrew and understand it's limitations, or buy a commercial antenna
and expect performance.
