newbie and cantenna

Is the cantenna a receiving and transmitting device?
My PC wifi card has a detachable antenna but my pda has only an internal
antenna.
What methods are available for coupling the signal to an internal antenna?

Yes. It acts as both a transmitting and receiving antenna.

Is there some reason you didn't disclose the manufacturers and model
numbers?

That's kinda difficult to answer because we have no clue what PDA
you're using. Some have internal u-FL connectors but will require
drilling a hole to extract the coax. The ones with CF card radios,
have the radio externally available. If it has a projecting bulge for
the antenna, it can be drilled and a coax pigtail connected. Are you
sure you wanna do this?
