How much variance does one have in pointing the antenna? i.e. I have Sprint and AT&amp;T from different sources.

Depending on your install configuration, unlimited. I have 360 degrees. If using iPhone, you can fine tune pointing using the phones internal signal meter..btw, this is an awesome product.

depending on your [size] antenna and direction you have it pointed, ive had it in upstate ny where the weather is extreme....[winds]

I have AT&T and it works fairly well. The most important thing is aiming the transponder, and positioning the indoor antenna correctly.

Yes, as far as I can tell. I researched it heavily and it all seems to be right. In my research I discovered earlier models had trouble with reception quality, I believe I have the earlier model.

I have the mast pointed to our local antenna array here, but I've read reviews of folks mounting the antenna to an actuator that rotates it based on what channel you want to watch.That being said, because this thing is so large and the design, if you mount it high enough, I'm assuming it will pick up signals all around it- it's not likely to be significantly better or worse depending on which way it is facing, it's more about how high it's mounted and how many obstructions are in the way or how much interference is in your area.

The booster works well with the major cell providers ATT and Verizon. I have a constant bar and a half increase. We are happy with that increase. We will try other antenna directions now it is spring and the snow is gone.

What bothers me is that you said you live miles from "coverage," which could mean you show zero bars of signal. That won't work. You need to be inside the AT&T; coverage area and showing some kind of signal. Even one bar with -105 dB will work...but there needs to be something to latch onto.

NO, I just found out and wanted to share with others that the protocol used for Verizon & Sprint uses CDMA, while AT&T; & T Mobile use GSM. So the phones hardware communicates to the cell tower differently. :(

Hello,I installed mine over a year ago and it works amazing up here in the mountains even with a steel building. I have 5 bars on my phone through out my 7,000 sq ft structure. As I remember I had to call Wilson and ask which antenna would be best for my system. I purchased whatever they told me to get...and it works awesome. If you are wondering...definitely call Wilson for your particular installation and location.

My experience has been that it works for both, but only if you have a fairly weak signal to begin with. If I have three or four bars on my signal, I get little or no results. If I have one or two bars, I get great results with 3G or 4G. It will increase by at least one or two bars. It seems to have at least as good, or even better results with my verizon phone as with my jetpack. I would highly recommend this antenna as well as all the products I have purchased from Wilson.

Unfortunately it is. I just pick out a couple of favorite stations and go with that. I like the local sports station on AM, but it's tricky to pull in. I think the problem is mostly in the antenna. I believe some users have come up with some type of amplifacation . The radio case is quality built, don't know why Dewalt can't figure out their customers want "quality" in radio reception as in their tools.

Different antennas have different freq. spectrum. You should be able to buy an adapter. Anything else would be stealing Satellite time.

I can't tell you for sure. I am in Anchorage,AK and there is a station that is only 16 miles from me and I have to move the antenna just for that station sometimes. I get the other 2 networks just fine. This was the 4th antenna I tried and it was better than the others.

The antenna is not multi directional, but has a very broad beam, so the actual "pointing" of the antenna is not critical. I have found that I can pickup signals, 50 miles distant, as long as the antenna is pointed within 20 degrees of the channels transmitter loaction.

On my phone it will take it from 2 bars no 4 and it will give me 2-4 bars 4g. But in some spots even with booster and antenna i get nothing but that is just at&t; for you

I am not sure if this one will work. The "antenna" is universal. Its the little blue box you have to find that supports what network you are on. One is for PCS ( Sprint ) and the next for 4G networks ( Verizon ) and so on from there. So you have to read which one you need for whatever network you want.

The stock antenna works good but I believe you will be satisfied with another antenna. I just ordered another one to try to see which I like better.
