As a semi-retired paramedic, I do SAR/Training work near the US/Canadian border and am implementing a cellular data solution for my vehicle (think specialized RV / CIC). I would greatly appreciate a bit of advice regarding a choice between the two antenna candidates for the cellular gateway.

We use Verizon 700 MHz (band 13) on the US side. It appears the 1723 has better specs for this 700-800 MHz band, and has somewhat improved performance overall - but I would greatly appreciate confirmation from those that know much more than I.

The two potentials are:

• SureCall CM288
  
• Digital Antenna 1273
