V265 Antenna Question

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Would some v265 owner tell me if the phone has an external antenna
port or socket? Thanks.

If there is a professional install handsfree kit for it, there should be
an antenna port, probably on the back under a rubber plug. You might check
http://www.cellantenna.com or http://www.canyonriver.com to see if they have
the adapter cable for it.

Jim,

What you might do is take a look at some other Motorolas and see if the
connector matches any of them. They use several styles, unfortunately. If it
matches one, you might try ordering an adapter cable for that phone and see
if it works. Or you can wait until someone releases one. I did just check
the Motorola site and they don't list the professional install kit for the
265, but that usually lags behind the introduction of a phone.. Wish I could
be more help! Good luck!

If I can remember, I'll compare my T720 to my wife's V60i. I just looked
at one of the company 120's and the connector looks the same as the T720,
but I know that Canyon River sells a different cable for those two phones.
It might just have to do with the shape of the phone, but I'll see if the
cable I have for the T720 will fit the 120. I know the 120 one has a longer
plug.
