Overall I am very pleased with the cell booster. While I’m not a daily user on the booster I do use it in a remote area and have it on my 5th wheel trailer. That said let’s go!Pro’sEasy to place unitAntenna is a decent designSupplied cables are long enoughOperationally it’s easy to use but could be confusing with the LED’s tooSignal is surely boosted where it’s needed and does improve the signal even when it’s fringe12v power block is amazing because I cut the brick off and wired directly to my battery so 12v was very important to meCon’sBooster unit is 50 ohm, rest of the components are 75 ohm (see below)Unit shows green lights on it when signal isn’t there or there is oscillation with the signal. This should be yellow or red not green cause green is viewed as “good”. Prior to my below changes I got this on all 5 channels but it worked okNotes for the systemAs I mentioned 50 to 75 ohm mismatch on the cables to the unit, unfortunately this is normal with affordable boosters for one single reason, money. Using correct cables for a cell phone booster costs a lot more money thus will drive the price up a lot more on our end. Yes indeed RG6 does work but having mismatched cables causes a level of frequency oscillation. When it oscillates it can cancel some of the signal out in a way which can also cause you to show solid green on the front of the unit on a specific band or multiple bands.Internal to external antenna position is beyond critical, you need to pay attention to this carefully. If your antenna is pointing to 0 degrees north you should be pointing the inside antenna to 90 degrees or 270 degrees, your antenna should also be bent at 45 degrees or so. You want to insure that inside and outside don’t match the way the antennas are facing / directed. This is another small way to squeeze out any last bit of boostingLast but not least cable / external antenna topic. In the world of cell boosters 50 ohm cable is standard in which the market uses for commercial applications, but in small residential units they go with RG6 for cost reasons. There is no such thing as RG6 50 ohm cable and the correct cable to achieve this is LMR400 cable. It’s very thick and not so flexible but it also helps squeeze out more of the boosting. You’ll need a couple adapters but doing it right you can minimize the adapters. You’ll need one for LMR to RG6 for the booster and one for a wall plate if you choose to use one.Antenna. The antenna that is supplied isn’t a bad parabolic design and does work but it’s also 75 ohm and not 50 ohm. 50 ohm antennas don’t have a RG6 connector on them but have a different toe for the LMR400 so you’ll be able to connect to the unit using the LMR400I replaced the antenna and cable from the booster all the way outside. I was in a spot where I knew cell signal was weak at best being from no service to 1x with a smattering of LTE 1 bar late at night. The booster with LMR took me up to 3 bars of LTE but with a limited distance of about 15’ from the booster unit. Last year same setup, same spot but using RG6 and the supplied antenna I barely got 1 bar of LTE and occasionally it would bounce to 2 bars but it was rare.That said this kit is a solid kit but if you want to squeak out it’s max potential upgrade the RG6 to LMR400 and swap the parabolic antenna for a true 50 ohm antenna of the same style. They do make other antennas from other companies that are a flat panel that are a bit better for when you’re on the fringe as they’re a tad more focused beam wise but you sacrifice with some lower DB increases too so there’s a trade off.Anyway there’s my 2 cents honest review of using it now going into my 3rd year.
