Default Disassembled PCMCIA card - Where is the antenna?
Hello everyone.
I am trying to mess around with an old PCMCIA card I have. I want to extend the range by adding additional antenna. I am including a screenshot of the actual card out of its case. To the left is the side that matches the PCMCIA slot.

Is the antenna the two square looking figures on the right with the red arrows?

yes.

the little square blocks appear to be U.FL connectors. get a pigtail, U.FL to whatever kind of RF connector you prefer, and attach external antenna there.
