Thanks for the feedback ( pun intended) guys...I am going to replace the antenna and wiring with fresh gear and was thinking getting a backup as well. My radios works OK now but I do not get 20 miles...probably about 1/2 that.

Yea, a sat phone is on my list. I've used them offshore on other peoples boats and they are wonderful. They are well worth the $ esp in an emergency.

I just wondered about these cell phone antennas and how they worked. I have no plans to get one unless they really did wonders.
