Guys, I am trying to figure out how to extend the cable for the 396
antenna so i can route the cable in the right way... Have you guys
seen a mini usb extension cord or connectors? Or can I simply cut the
cord and splice in a foot or so?

Let me know what you think?

Mini USB extension cables are available. Not sure where exactly. I
believe I saw them at MicroCenter. I would avoid splicing.
Good Luck,
Mike

USB extension cables are blatently illegal according to the
specification. You're supposed to use either an appropriate
length single cable, or an approved hub to extend things.
