silly question about D-link DWL-120 wireless USB-adapter

I am contemplating a D-link DWL-120 wireless USB-adapter

Does anybody here happen to know if the flip-up antenna can be flipped
all the way up i.e. 180 degrees - and not only to about 120 degrees as
pictured on the brochure?

I need to know because I want to mount it on a vertical surface.

greetings

Alex

Note sure about the 120, but the 120+ the antenna will do 180.

Tnx a lot for your reply. But unfortunately there seems to be more
than one type of the DWL-120+

1) one that looks like this: http://www.d-link.com/products/?pid=25
i.e. with a single rod antenna on one side

and

2) one that looks EXACTLY like the old 120:
http://www.d-link.com/products/?pid=49
i.e with a broad plate that flips up all along the width

The one I can buy here in Denmark is the last one "2)" and the dealer
will not let me open the case before I buy!

Could you tell me which one you are referring to? Is the one that does
180 degress according to your experience "1)" or "2)"?

Alex

I have the one pictured in #1. Good luck!
