What's an external antenna?

An external antenna is mounted on the outside of your vehicle to increase your phone’s range for optimum performance. These antennas are used with mobile phones (cellular phones permanently mounted in a vehicle) and with handheld phones that employ a hands-free kit mounted inside a vehicle.

What's the best antenna to use?

Brismesh Inc. FAQ
Cheap antennas will work, but the more you spend, the better the quality of the gear is. What you should consider first is what kind of range or area you want to cover, and how much you're willing to spend on the gear. Typically, you'll either want a highly directional (yagi, helical or dish) for a single-person link, or an omni-directional (whip) or sector antenna for multi-person link. The mesh idea is to get most houses to have more than one antenna: two, or hopefully three.

What antenna will work best for me?

Cell Phone Accessories: Cell Phone Battery, Bluetooth Headse...
It depends on how you use your phone. 0 decibel (dB) gain antennas, often called unity gain, are usually best in cities or mountains because they provide the same coverage vertically and horizontally (note: this statement is not always true when there is good coverage in those areas). Cellular was originally designed for 3dB gain antennas as they provide the optimal combination of vertical and horizontal patterns.

What sort of antenna works best for wardriving?

Wardriving FAQ by Jeff Duntemann (Wireless LAN Security & Wa...
You want some sort of omnidirectional vertical antenna, ideally one that can be mounted on the roof of your vehicle. Again, an external antenna is optional: You can wardrive with no better antenna than the one on the end of your Wi-Fi PC card. Such antennas are poor to begin with, and when they're inside the vehicle the metal structure of the vehicle shields them from AP signals to some extent. You will gather a lot more stations using an external antenna.
