Don't bother with the ADS one in the link... I personally tried it after reading a couple reviews. The reception is also horrible with this one. Not sure what these reviewers were listening to.

EDIT: The ADS one is based on the SiLabs stick. The above that I mentioned pertains only to my testing it on my Car PC. Today I tried it inside on my laptop, and it does in fact get very good reception. The input jack for the external antenna appears to be a standard male SMB connection (I can't verify this 100% until I plug an SMB female end into it). With that being said, I am going to attempt to locate (or fabricate) an adapter that will allow me to connect my stock antenna connector to the input of this stick. If I can get my car's antenna hooked up to this, I'll be fully in business. (Except that CF does not support this stick... I plan to make a Radiator plugin for it once I get to that point though).

EDIT AGAIN: The connector is MCX, not SMB.
