A glass patch cellular antenna is provided which can be imprinted as a thin film element on the interior surface of an automobile window. The antenna is physically configured to serve as a coupling element for an optional antenna mast which can be mounted externally on the window opposite the antenna. As a thin film element, the antenna can be factory installed and prewired such that the automobile is cellular ready, in that the installation of an external mast is unnecessary to achieve suitable performance. Yet, an external mast can be readily coupled with the antenna in order to enhance the performance capability of the antenna.

A portable phone comprises a handset having a low power radio transmitter and a base station having a booster transmitter that is optionally coupled to the handset for better transmission. A docking cradle has a nest to receive a boat and the boat has a pocket to receive the handset. The boat is connected to the base by a cord and a connector in the boat is coupled to the handset when the handset is seated in the boat. The cradle, boat and handset are nested together for compact hands-free operation, the handset is removed from the boat for portable operation, or the handset and boat together are removed from the cradle for wire-connected hand-held operation.
