I've been cruising these boards for the last couple of days, and have read a lot of encouraging posts regarding boosting an EVDO signal.

However, I am still a bit confused about what antenna would suit me best.

At www.booster-antenna.com I see THIS for the Verizon (V620) version of my card, yet they do not have it listed for the S620.

Will this antenna work on my Merlin S620?

I am on the fringe of an EVDO cell and get about 1-2 bars of signal strength with speeds of 200-600k down. I'm confident that with a good antenna, I can get closer to 1000k down.

Advice?

The Merlin S620 and Novatel V620 are identical.

They are both made by Novatel, Verizon puts a V in front of the 620 and Sprint puts an S in front of the 620.

We had an error on our web site that didn't have the Sprint version listed, but it is back there now:

From what you have described the Booster-antenna should get the job done. If you can get it next to or close to a window as sometimes the Rf is being blocked by the structure you are in . And Rf passes through glass much better than other materials in the structure

Thanks, Michael---that's what I thought, but didn't know if there was some minor differences between the antennas for whatever reason.

Thanks for the link---it's as good as ordered.
