• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I am thinking about getting a used Verizon Wireless usb modem for data on ebay and need suggestions on what model to get. I need the modem to work with windows vista and also have an external antenna port. Any input would be greatly appreciated-Thanks! :)
 
I know of a few people using the usb device for verizon with iffy results. I have an older PC 5750 pcmcia card that has an external antenna plug that works quite well. If you have a pc card slot that would allow you to free up a usb port for gps, video capture devices, etc.
 
The UM-150 has served me well. I believe it is made by Pantech. It has an external antenna port and will work with a Cradlepoint router if you don't want to use the crappy Verizon VZ Navigator software.
 
I think I may get the Novatel usb727 if I continue to have problems with my connection occasionally dropping when I tether through my phone. I am fairly sure that the delorme serial emulator was causing the problem so I recently bought a new GlobalSat BU-353 gps, and going to install x port serial com splitter and give it a try.
