Please, if somebody has the article from at e220umts.blogspot.com, upload to somewhere, or send it over e-mail to me please! That website seems to be deleted.

Well, I haven’t heard about the EC325 before - the case looks the same. If the modem has a similar internal antenna like the 220, it should be of course possible to attach a cord leading to an external antenna. Maybe you could even use a general GSM antenna, the CDMA band is quite close to it.
From december of 2008 we have pretty good EDGE coverage but I still use the external antenna solution - now for almost 18 months! The modem doesn’t have to work so hard, the signal ratio is maximal and I have no interference in the audio systems.

You might wanna check this out here, they even got a list of items needed to use an external antenna “properly”, it seems you just have to plug a pigtail into the hole on top to access the external antenna port…

Have you got any tips on how to remove the top cover? So as to open the device without breaking the safetypin?

Hi Paul! I recommend attaching a short pigtail ending with some kind of connector, rather than wiring an antenna directly - FME male is recommended because most external antennas connect with FME females. However mine is somewhat different type (it’s a regular WiFi pigtail) it mates with a FME female. This way You can attach and remove different antennas without opening the device. I use a regular GSM unipole with magnetic stand. YAGI antennas or any kind of directional one would do better. Native 3G antennas are available too and they’re worth to try. Good luck!
