You don't. You can use any antenna you want to with the APPT as long as
what you want to use is the integrated 13dbi antenna.
Did you buy that from us?

Thanks Mike.
Given that its not 90 degrees ;-), I figure I'll probably add on an
omni-directional antenna - the homes it this area are spread over about
200 degrees with only a couple of places out side of this. What I really
would like for this access point is about a 3-4 km range; more would be
nice but not an absolute must.
