Anyone know who sells antenna that uses this little push on connector to the P.C. board GSM device? (see Photo)
Or/and what do you call that little connector on the opposite end of the antenna?
I need to get maybe 15 or so feet from the radio.
Thanks for your help.

Hard to tell from the photos, take a look at the link below, it will help ID that connector.

And running 15 feet of that very small coax will get you nowhere, the added attenuation may cause a complete signal loss.
Just what are you trying to do and with what type of radio???? GSM can mean a bunch of things. Like General Service Mobile band.

It's a fire telemetry radio. instead if using phone lines to a central station, we use GSM radios..... Made in Canada
DCS wants like $150.00 US for a 15 foot antenna you can put outside.. Come on 150 bucks? they must be kidding!

Well trying to move the little antenna outside may not work so good, remember what I said about the small coax dB loss, it will almost make the radio useless.
$150 for an antenna and coax that works with this radio is not that bad.
