the virgin 3g dongle is USB said:
i use a mobile connection all the time and it works best near a window .i don't know if yours is the new generation high speed one ? mine will theoretically achieve 20mb/s download speed but is normally around 7mb/s .there might be a miniature antenna socket that you can attach an antenna to pull in a better signal .
the huawei e353 has a socket and is hspa+ for high speed .

All, I visited Mark yesterday and he's been the best I've seen him in weeks. I'll let him comment on his health but suffice it to say, our Mark appears to be back.

I know he reads all your posts so please keep the well wishes coming.

If you were to decide to move away from the Virgin USB unit I'll put my plug in:

I have a Verizon MIFI device and I love it. No cords, place it where you want and connect up to five devices at once.

I went on their website this morning and it looks like you could get a 4G compatible for $19.99 with 2 year contract ($269 to buy outright and buy service month-to-month). Data plans are then $50 per month for 5GB or $80 per month for 10GB, $10 per GB for overage.

MIFI + fully paid 2 year contract (5GB) = $1,220


Great to see you're on the mend, Mark!

Hello all.
I am relatively new to AK, but have been active on Lansing Heritage for many years. I have a client that came to me with his Pioneer SA-9900 purchase from eBay and I googled sa-9900 repair. Markthefixer's threads came up. After reading as much as possible about the repairs and parts choices, I emailed Mark last night to ask if he is interested in fixing this. His reply was a link to this thread, and my wife and I have read it from page 1. I would like to make a donation to Mark's paypal account. (Can Robie send me the info?)

I will try to fix this 9900 with all of the info found here, and want to add my appreciation to Mark and Robie, and all of the forumites here, that encourage man's humanity to man. It is rare and beautiful to read, to see and experience. Please continue to get better! Thank you.
Best wishes from Anchorage,Alaska (the other AK)
Sincerely,
Scott Koeller

Fantastic news!! Thanks Robie. Keep fighting Mark.:thmbsp:
 
Just ordered a laptop stand. Perhaps it will make it easier for Mark to post.
 
Glad to hear that you are making positive progress Mark!

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all of your help Robie!
 
38 pages...wow! The last time I saw this thread there was about 4 or 5 posts. I'm happy to see that you're on the mend, and amazed at all of the well wishers and contributors from this great forum.
 
Leave it to our government to see that no good deed goes unpunished. Mark will figure it out, hell, he herds electrons doesn't he??
 
Wonder what modifications he has added to all that fancy diagnostic equipment in the rehab center? Somehow the image of our Uber-tech being without his sonic screwdriver conjures up a smile. Continue on your healing path Mark.

I second that Lee. Home looks soooooooo good to Mark right now. I wanna see another LOL in that post Mark!!

BTW---Electrons are harder to herd than cats!!

I have to admit I'm disappointed that the money I sent to you via payPal for the chance at the autographed by Mark pristine vinyl record of "Christmas with the Monkees" was usurped by all the other AKers jumping on the bandwagon. I really believed that was a record I needed for my collection, truly the first important enough to knock "Shirley Temple Behind the Doublewide" down a notch! Kindly keep my donation for the next opportunity :-)

Mark
Please carry on and be careful of drafts in the hospital. Nasty nasty place.....
