Check out Wilson Electronics at
<http://www.wilsonelectronics.com/>. They make a number of antennas
and cell phone amplifiers and have referrals to local dealers or
online sources for their products.

I haven't selected one for myself, yet. My EVDO USB/modem was
purchased with a small, 6-inch tall, magnetic base external antenna
from Verizon. When reception inside the coach wasn't as strong as I'd
like, I'd just open the nearest window and stick it to the side of
the coach and push it up as far as I could -- that was usually
effective.

I met one fifth-wheel user who preferred an antenna/amplifier from
"digital something or other" -- but I didn't get the name clear
enough for me to sort out exactly who she was referring to...

However, you may want to try the 'stock' system first before
investing in something more potent. Because of the 'holes' in Texas
coverage, I think I'll get an amplifier/antenna combination before
returning there ... but you may not have any problems in other
locations.
