We Boost

Shoe he is talking about CELL, not Television.

To the O/P.. I have an app on my phone that does several things

ONE: it displays signal strength several ways, Far more accurate than the 1,2,3,4,5 bars.. It has like 10 bars plus a digital meter plus a graphing function...

Two: with the WE BOOST off you go outside so you get a better signal,, Then you can ask the app where the tower is.. If it can identify the tower it will give you a starting location,, NOTE: the tower may be a mile or more off from the location ploted but you have a starting angle and can go from there.

App title is Network Signal INFO

Oh, it also gives me more info about the tower than I want and does Wi-Fi as well.

We use the Wilson Trucker antenna.....it is omni-directional and I mounted it to a pole attached to my ladder on my 5ver so I can raise it 4 feet up if I want.

Tall antennas are good for flat terrain. Anywhere there are hills or tall trees you'll do better with a short (ie. 2") antenna.

Depends how much sensitivity the amplifier has . You could be surprised

As mentioned, a cell booster can extend available coverage. It can not create cell signal. There are many variables to available cell signal. Cell booster installation!!! Vehicles are all different. I've found center of the hood a great dependable location. It may not be the "best" location. Best outside antenna location can change depending on terrain. Many systems come with a 4" rubber antenna. The 4" antenna is generally signal neutral. This means it usually does not help or hurt signal. There are "better" antennas available from Weboost. However, the "better" antennas can hurt either 3g or 4g signal.

Where I live AT&T and T-Mobile have less coverage. Verizon is best. Verizon also works way further with a booster where I live/play. Other geographical areas may have better AT&T. Weather can also affect coverage. A few times I've had a booster work on one side of a campground but do nothing on the other side.

With Verizon and the booster I have service a few miles before any one not boosted. Your mileage will vary.

A booster can only boost what is already there. No signal at all and there is nothing to boost. I have all four networks and expect to be out of range at some point and time.

Our weBoost Drive 4G-M cell booster came with a 4" rooftop magnetic antenna. The booster worked well for us this past winter, even in the Everglades where we used to get little or no signal. I've just replaced it though, with a Maximum Signal MaxAmp Mobile RV booster that gives us boosted coverage from end to end in our 34' motorhome instead of only within a few feet of the weBoost's "Hershey Bar" inside antenna. I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test the MaxAmp yet, but it shows promise of being superior to the weBoost in overall range, as well as the inside coverage. I'm using the supplied 13" mag mount roof antenna with it and the supplied ceiling mount inside antenna. Our weBoost is listed on eBay.
