Qualcomm GSP-1600 Sat Phone

AFAIK they work on different frequencies so the CDMA antenna won't work for the Sat Phone. The antenna can't radiate efficiently at the frequency of the Sat Phone. But I'm no expert.

Do you want to connect the antenna direct to the phone or to the Car Kit ?

I have used it in the NT and the GSP1600 works well in very remote areas, both in car and stand alone.

One very important point.

Watch out for the "roam" feature that automatically selects CDMA if it detects a CDMA service and you are not signed up for the CDMA service. MY GSP1600 found the CDMA network (and locked onto it) but we had not signed up for the service on the satphone as we have CDMA mobiles for that purpose. So the catch is you get what you sign up for.

When you switch the GSP1600 to manual for satphone service it works very well, so if you have no CDMA service plan ON your satphone leave the satphone on manual satellite ONLY.

Sometimes too many automatic "features" are not desirable. Hope this makes sense as it baffled me until I worked out what the problem was.

Can you see any connectors (or rubber plugs covering connectors) that the Vehicle Cradle connects to ?

Is there a large connector at the base that everything connects to ?
