Connecting cell phone booster to TV antenna

Cell phone antennas require a particular length antenna depending on which company carrier you are with. I used the antenna that came with Wilson(now We Boost), it has about a 10 foot long cable and proper connector. They require about a 6 inch diameter magnetic base to hold the antenna for ground plane. I used a small old stainless saucepan that was magnetic. Don't forget to take it down when you travel or make something else permanent.

Your powered TV antenna has a built-in signal amplifier that only works in one direction (incoming signals), and only amplifies a specific range of frequencies (none of which are the same as the cell phone bands).

Not only will it not work - but it may also damage your cell phone booster or the amplifier in your TV antenna.

Hey all. I am curious if anyone has tried connecting their cell phone booster from their truck to the powered antenna in their travel trailer.

Can't be done.

That's like taking a CB and trying to connect it to a cell phone antenna.

Two completely different frequencies, which require different antenna characteristics
