Re: Cell Phone Antenna

I had a Qualcomm QCP-860 (Great phone!) hands-free car kit installed by 
AirTouch (now Verizon) here in San Diego.  The tech at first didn't think 
he was going to be able to use the mic in the headliner or stereo speakers 
for audio.  I said, 'No way, my service manager said it's a snap to use 
them.'  After speaking with my Saab service manager, the tech was able to 
install the kit making use of the mic and speakers.  He installed the 
antenna right on top of the third brake light in order to avoid the radio 
antenna embedded in the rear window.  It blocks a little bit of the brake 
light, but oh well.  Unfortunately, the location selection didn't fully 
payoff, as the AM reception is degraded significantly on weak 
stations.  There's no effect on FM stations.  I hear no wind noise from the 
antenna.  Although the interference with AM is annoying, I can live with it 
because the AM station I listen to most of the time blasts at 50,000 watts 
from L.A. and the antenna doesn't affect it.
