That black stick thingie is either a special adjustable dielectric EM wave director, or it's a marketing probe. Take your pick.

Loosely coupled, eh?

Nice.
I thought the antennas on my GHz phone were fake but the plastic stubs actually contain one of the multiple antennas used.
I won't see Google Groups replies because I must filter them as spam
The connector & case are worth $2. I would have to buy one (if I stumble upon it) just to investigate... John Ferrell W8CCW
So here's my question: After stripping that thing apart, did this guy go back and check the TX/RX range?
I wouldn't be surprised if it actually improved without the case. Black plastic is often made with carbon (conductive) pigments.

SHIFT TO THE LEFT! SHIFT TO THE RIGHT!
POP UP, PUSH DOWN, BYTE, BYTE, BYTE!
So what is the problem, you got Bluetooth, and an antenna, what more do you want :-)

2 antennas?
Its not an antenna, its a handle.
But do they make an adaptor to N?
Sure, it's sold in bottles.
Few days ago I've seen a very similar looking (possibly identical, don't remember it that well) unit at DSE but at $49 I'm not keen to buy one just to check if it a ripoff.
