I looked at this info in the past and a google search and a search of this site will bring a number of suggestions. I know Sailingdog has made a few posts here about recommendations and elsewhere, "everythingsailing" maybe.

In that post he said stay away from USB antennas and recommended another antenna. I did a search for said antenna and came up with the Data Alliance company which is the company selling the antenna Paul_L recommends. They had a lot of different ones to choose from. I asked them for recommendations for my needs given my situation, figuring with so many to choose from there may be a newer better one than SD suggested.

They recommended one that is USB based and I bought it. I should have listened to SD's suggestion, it is a disappointment. Or at least it does not get any better signal than my laptop. Granted my laptop is very new and gets better signal than I have seen from my previous computer. Just for reference though, I am not using mine on the water. Let me know if you find something that works well.
