Don't know which real antennas work, but watch out for the gimmicks like the antenna boosters that are just a piece of tape with some printed circuitry on them. From a technical standpoint they don't make sense since they would not work if applied in the battery compartment(per instruction), too much metal shielding them. And from experiemnting on one years back, it did nothing.
A real antenna would either have to replace the antenna on the cell or might clamp over it. Don't have any practical experience with these tho.
Good Luck,
Jim Henderson

Are you looking for a wireless type repeater or a simple plug in antenna?
I use the plug in type external antenna at my office and it works great. I'll see if I can find the website of the place I bought mine from tomorrow.

You'll need an antenna and an adapter cable. If you can't find it online you can call them and ask. They're pretty helpful people.
