Old magnetic cell phone antenna-UPDATE
Does anyone know if a 20 year old magnetic cell phone antenna would work with the new booster/repeater. I am thinking the technology was too different but maybe I am wrong
Forum Discussion
The reason that I asked is that I have a booster in my shop which works great and is easy to get to and take out. For kicks and giggles I took it to my 5th wheel and hooked it up using a steel plate on the roof as a ground plane and an old ('90s vintage) magnetic antenna left over from the old bag phone days. It barely got me one more bar on my phone. I am taking a chance and ordering a new Wilson magnetic antenna of the right frequency. If it works-problem solved. If not, it certainly will not be the last $20 that I have wasted. I figured the distance between the indoor and outdoor antennas is not quite the issue with a magnetic one vs. a yagi antenna like I have on my shop
