Is there a minimum distance required between the antenna and the booster unit? The easiest set-up for me would have them about 4 feet apart.

If you are referring to the indoor antenna and the booster, no. The distance between the two antennas are the critical distance.
901604
Yes, the instructions are specific about this. Mine is about 60 feet apart. System works great for me. Highly recommend for fringe cell phone service area.

Yes there is and it's more than four feet. I don't remember exactly but I think around 20 feet. Check the Wilson site and they will tell you

If you are talking about the "interior" antenna then the answer is "they can be side by side or as close as you like" as long as that antenna is still pointing away from the exterior antenna.

Wilson wants 20 feet of vertical separation according to the install information that you can look at one their site.That's if the inside antenna is pretty much below the outside antenna.They also say not to point the inside antenna at the directional or Omni antenna install too.

Yes, I believe it is 12 feet away minimum and that distance is straight line, so 6 foot down and 6 foot over would only be a distance of roughly 8.5 feet away and you would still get feedback and the unit shuts down to prevent damage to it.

For best results the amp should be as close to the antenna due to line loss when receiving a low level signal. The trick is keeping the power supply cool. I lost one due to high temp in the attic.

I used two 8' tall 2 3/8" chain link poles bolted together to get 16 feet up (that was high enough for me to get a good signal...I did not have to use any guide wires to hold the mast as it bolted about halfway up to the eve of the house and was sturdy enough without them..I did have to bend the "U" clamps a little to get them to fit around the pole..I could not find a 2" pole which is what it I think it was designed for...I looked for an "antennae" pole but could not find one at Lowes, Home Depot or Radio Shack that I thought would be sturdy enough or tall enough for my situation. Also the outside booster was a bit larger than what I was expecting but it did not weigh much...

My antenna picks up signals from transmitters 50 miles away, but a friend picks up signals that are 90 miles away. We live where it is flat with no obstacles to block the signal.

My furthest is 75 feet with no problems. If you need range, they made an extender for the antenna.

Hello Bryan, First, every case is different. The coverage area and quality of coverage varies depending on the area you are covering. Trees, buildings and weather can all affect the quality of your signal. With that being said, the general coverage area of this booster system is up to 10,000 square feet. Can you clarify what you mean by "be configured to boost outside the building"? Would you like for the broadcast range to reach outside of the building or would you like to set up the system outside? In addition we can also provide outdoor antennas that can be configured to use with this system. I hope this clarifies things for you, we are happy to help. Feel free to ask about anything else you need help with. Regards, CellAntenna Corp.

It depends if you purchase the range booster. Mine work between the house, barn and garage but all the buildings are in a 100 foot radius of the base station.

You must have a active 4G Signal outside and must find the area of best reception. In order to get these booster to work. You must have a 30 distance by 15 feet vertical distance. In other words, must have 30 feet apart from the base station to the antenna. They have to be 30 feet apart. Also metal surfaces interfere s with this system. Must have a 3 feet distance from the base station otherwise you will get noise polution causeing the red green light to go spastic. I have the Zboost SOHO Datablast YX550 S. I get 1 bar 4G outside and now I get 5 full 4G bars on my phone and 35mbps. They are sensitive systems so must follow the instructions for this system to function correctly. I live out in the country and middle of no where no have metro reception like beimg in the city. I use Galaxy Note 2 through Verizon on the 4GLTE network.

My son-in-law has the same set up about 40 feet and that works. Belkin has signal booster if it doesn' t work for you.

In my situation, both antennas are connected to the back of the box with coaxial cable. One of the antennas is 2 floors distant. The remote works in line of sight at fairly close range.

Is does not matter. I recommend you place them as far apart from each other as possible in order to get more range. You should consider purchasing an extended cable.

Included with this device is a power supply, but what you'll need is a length of coax cable (the same type which carries the TV /cable signal) to carry the power from the adapter to the booster. This was not included in my package. The length required will of course depend on how far away the splitter is from the power outlet.

It will be more effective closer to the antenna. The power supply can be located pretty far away - 100 ft or more is probably not a problem.

Just looking at the gain figures, the 4221HD should pull in a little more from 50 miles. But I am not the ultimate expert. I suggest you go to tvfool dot com, put in your exact address and antenna height, and share the link that appears toward top of report with the people at dtvusaforum dot com. They will make specific recommendations based on your exact circumstances. Top antenna professionals donating their time, so be polite. Antenna will probably have to be outdoors at 50 miles. My case was an exception.

I live in the country as well I have my antenna 15' high. Also have a booster that has an fm trap on it. It supposedly keep the radio signals from interfering. They are not expensive and made a big difference in my case anyway.

Hi Troy: I think this and the mini antenna are compatible the booster and should not mess up your booster, however wilsonelectronics.com can give you a more definite answer. Also, their website also states that before using this item , to go get " permission " from the cell phone carrier, fyi. I hope this helps ad good luck, Thomas.

You can add a splitter but, remember that the splitter will induce a loss in both receivers. If your location from the transmitter is in the fringe area, my suggestion would be to install a second antenna. There is no splitter built that will not insert signal loss.
