RE: [Netstumbler] Mag Antenna?

Title: Message
i've had excellent results with this 7dbi one:
http://www.pacwireless.com/html/mobile_2_4ghz.html
 
after i got it, on my way home from work, i picked up over 250 nodes (going from bellevue, wa to 1st ave seattle, wa = 20 miles)
where normally i pick up like 50 with just a 5dbi blade antenna velcro'd to my notebook.
 
YMMV.

Subject: [Netstumbler] Mag Antenna?

I have always had the intention to buy the mag mount 5dbi antenna, but i use my 9dbi and clamp it to car.
 
Well, i went to hyperlinktech's site to get a cable for wwwd3, and noticed their Mag Mount is... different. http://www.hyperlinktech.com/web/hg2405mgu.php Notice how it is silver and seems a bit taller/cleaned up? Is this made by the same company the original mag mount is made by? Did they just clean up the antenna they were wholesaling to everyone?
 
Also, i would like to know what anyones experience with the mag mount has been... good range? I know itll be a lot easier to drive with then my 9dbi.
