Hi all, I have an old LG CDMA phone that always seems to work no matter how I treat it. I am looking to get a new phone so I can have an in-car kit and external aerial. There is an LG DM120 that would work and my experience with LG so far has been good although the menu isn't great. I keep seeing psts about the problems people have with other brands and was wondering if anyone has any problems with the newer LG's? Also what would be a good CDMA external aeriel to get?

Hi CJ,
I have a Kyocera 2235 CDMA phone attached to a CD 1795 2X Antenna. As I wasn't looking for a hands free kit (The navigator handle the phone) I sourced out a patch cable to hook straight into the antenna. After a recent trip to the Flinders ranges I had comms in most places and my phone become the communbity phone. Needless to say I'm wrapped in the way the both work!

HI,

The LG DM120 is not as good as your old (LG ?? 330W ) the early ones were great.

See if you can borrow a Kyocera and compare it in a known poor reception area. The Kyocera used to be the Qualicomm brand and was the best for frindge reception followed by my LG 330W but now has a broken display Sob . .. Sob . . .

If you want good remote stationary reception get a yaggi but for mobile reception the 1 metre long fibreglass ones are the way to go
