Yes that is what I got. Haven't tried them out yet. But look good. You can get them cheaper .
Antenna Cables with a Magnetic Base

Here's what I did in sparing the controller in drilling holes. I used the internal cable that came with the DBS panel antenna as you can see in the picture and I put a 5 minutes epoxy then install the washer and nut after epoxy cured. I've used the DBS unboosted until I decided to boost it just recently. I bought the booster kit from Jake of MaxxUAV and here's the finished setup when I'm done with it.

That looks real good. Nice job.

I see several listed there, which one did you get?
On another thread this one seems to be recommended
2.4 GHz 8.5 dBi Omni Antenna w/ Magnetic Mount - 10ft RP-SMA Plug Connector - HG2409MGU-RSP

It is a little expensive though.
When you test your will you please post your results?

Thanks

Nonetheless interesting in results with different options

You have to mod every thing.

I am aware of that, but if I were to use external antennas (on roof of car etc) I would need something like those for when I am not in the car. Do they work as well as stock?

I think a lot of people use the itelite antenna when they disconnect from the roof mounted antenna's
