where to buy the cat5 antenna?
 
hi I was just wondering where to get a cat5 antenna for my microsizer any help would be good thank you

Any computer/electronics store. The CAT 5 antenna is made out of a CAT5 cable. Similar to an ethernet cable. You basically take the wires out from the cable and replace the antenna on the car with it.

Category 5 cable is so similar to ethernet cable that it's the exact same thing. ;) If you don't have some scrap cable just sitting around, it's not worth buying one. Go to a local (non-chain) computer store and ask if they have like a six inch scrap of Cat 5 (unterminated). They'll probably give it to you for free if they're cool.

Home Depot even the most expensive is only $0.22 per foot and they give you like 3 feet when you ask for 1.

Do they sell it by the foot at Home Depot? That's nice. I wish we had one around here. The only way you can find Cat 5 around here is either in overpriced pre-made cables or by the reel. I'll find some ways to use this reel up eventually.
