Can I attach the desktop antenna to this instead of the cradle?

No. Different cable connector & the desktop antenna is for an amplifier not a booster amplifier designed for the cradle. I'd call Wilson electronics tech help.

Yes. you can use it, minus the antenna, however I strongly recommend you use the attached antenna, for better frequency and performance.

No. It's simple enough that you could do it. Simply plug the head unit onto the cradle and plug in the antenna and power cord and you are set to go.

Hi Kim, I'm not sure. I was able to cross to this one because I had a number on my old cradle. Sorry I couldn't help you. Have a good day!

Hi Leanne, Thanks for your question. In response, Yes you can. You'll just need to point the internal antenna towards where the unit will be placed. If you have any other questions, just let us know. Have a blessed day, Mark

Yes and you can use any antenna you want that is equipped with the standard connector. The included antennas are good enough to put out/receive a powerful signal so there shouldn't be a need to replace them.

Haven't tried, but based on the design I would say no. The terminals for the cradle are built into the side of the phone itself.

No, is just a cradle with extra ports. It just slips in and out and the dock doesn't have any mounting our locking ability.

Hello,Yes, you can; and I did. However, this is a rather dated piece of equipment now, and the wiring and power were pretty messy. There are other options out there that are more elegant. If you got it for cheap then certainly go with it. You will need a power supply and antenna to connect to it. It gets quite hot too, so isolate it for safety. I used a clamping stand and bundled the wires in the back. As for the antenna, you can make on from a loop of wire, but it is best to go with a manufactured antenna.

Steve,If you are planning on mounting this to a building or a pole, you can modify an antenna mount. Many options are available. Before you mount the cell, test it in sunlight. The one I received was shorted internally and had to be returned. Ralph

Yes, this is a cradle design, it works very well for me... I live far out in the country and have 4g singal with this unit, wheither you use your phone as a hotspot or teather to your computer it should work well... I would suggest to unplug all connectons when not in use because is keeps the base hot and will burn out like my first one did with only the antenna connected when not in use... but Wilson's warranty replaced it very quickly so AAA+++ to Wilson. I hope that this helped...

I don't belive you can put a bigger antenna on the monitor unless it is tuned specificaly to it

Yes you can - In fact its the only reason I bought this dock was to keep it hooked up to my home stereo and stream pandora. Ive replaced my satellite radio with Pandora.

It could be done. First try to use a simple piece of stiff wire, like a brazing rod or a bicycle wheel spoke. If you can get that to contact a place in the center of where the metal antenna normally goes, then you could figure a way to make this work. Replacement antennas similar to the original one are available for about the same price as this unit...or make your own with wire.

There does not appear to be. I would look elsewhere for a model which has a wall cradle.

I see no reason to upgrade the antenna, I would imagine you could as the connector is a standard BNC.

Yes it has to be in the cradle, and the phone can not have a metal case. I had to return it because it would not work with my HTC one. This was confirmed with a call to tech support. I am not sure how the HTC can get the signal out to a cell tower but not too a cradle it was in contact with...
