Which Wilson directional antenna is compatible with this cell booster. 75 ohm or 50 ohm?

I have the booster working with no problems with Wilson Electronics Single Band - 800 MHz Yagi Antenna Model Y8009EL with N Female Connector. I connected it with a Wilson Electronics 952375 75-Foot WILSON400 Ultra Low Loss Coax Cable with N Male Connectors. It took a couple of adapter connectors to match everything up. Hope this answers your question.

We used 75 Ohm I read the directions and if you are using outside antenna then us 75, inside you can use 50 Ohm. The phone number to Wilson Electronics is 1-866-294-1660

- The outside antenna will not work inside, as it is a 75 ohm rated antenna, and it attaches with a 75 ohm RG6 cable.. Your black indoor antenna is a 50 ohm antenna and attaches with an SMA connector. You can purchase 75 ohm to 50 ohm converters but they cost as much as another antenna. Yes adapters are available to make the appropriate physical connector, but they are not the correct ohm design for the system. Indoor panel antennas, 50 ohm rated, have a Type N connector on them, and can be used for an inside antenna, you would need the correct adapter, unless Wilson is producting an indoor one with an SMA now. - The outside antenna will not work inside, as it is a 75 ohm rated antenna, and it attaches with a 75 ohm RG6 cable..

This is NOT intended to be connected to to a cell device. Wilson makes or made inline units that are made to be directly connected to cell devices. Sorry I don't have any part numbers but search for inline booster and you should find what you need.

Sorry, I don't know. I just plugged mine in, a few years ago, and have used it ever since with no problems at all. I might add that the antenna it's attached to is an outside HD antenna. I can say with certainty that quite a number of channels, from the antenna, come in far better with the booster (without which some don't come in at all), but I suspect that its amplifying capabilities may not be enough to help much with a much weaker signal than one gets with the outside antenna. ....You might try Googling the model number, though; there might be something available on-line. Good luck.

Yes, the Wilson Electronics Mobile 4G™cell phone signal booster improves coverage - including 4G, 3G, and 2G data downloads - for subscribers of all U.S. cellular networks (except Clearwire).

Not familiar with XM antenna's specs, as stated before-check manual. If it calls for 75ohm RF cable, then it should work. If it needs 50ohm cable, then this isn't the product for you. This cable has standard F connectors on both ends, as used in satellite/cable tv/over the air antennas.

There are differences between carriers. our best bet is to contact Wilson Electronics directly and ask which of the cradle type booster works best with your carriers. Call their tech support at 1-866-294-1660 or visit their site for an email address. I use one of their boosters with my AT&T; service and it performs great. I have recommended the -V version to neighbors using Verizon as their carrier and they have had excellent results.

- Wilson 400 cable is a 50 ohm cable and is not designed to work with the 460101 system. If the directional antenna you purchased has a Type N connector then that antenna is a 50 ohm antenna as well, and is not designed to work as an outdoor antenna with this system.. RG6, 75 ohm, cable is the only approved cable.. Just use good quality RG6 and you should be fine, but use an outside antenna with a Type F connector. If you cable run from inside to outside is excessively long, I believe RG11 would be a more appropriate cable, but I would stay with RG6 unless you are over 100 ft plus. Unless you are using a different Wilson system that what you commented on...Some did use 50 ohm cable in and out..

It sounds like you are missing a piece of equipment. Normally the antenna will attach to an amplifier from Wilson. One goes outside and the other antenna goes inside. The problem you may find if you are using it for internet connection is the frequency of your provider. Verizon 4G LTE is in the upper 700Mhz range while normal phones are 900-1800 range and this antenna is not suited for 700. The joy of different connectors for no good reason will cause a few problems. Verizon makes a router with outdoor antenna that works pretty well but again different connectors, (SMA). I ended up with two systems, one for my phone pointing to a cell tower with backup 3g coverage and my 4G system pointing another direction to a distant 4G tower but it works now. Try to find your towers first then work from there.

The antenna will not work with my wilson sleek with out a Different connector on it.

Yes u will hook it up to the signal booster. Wilson makes several different types. The one the antenna hooks to is the cradle type. I love the boosters and they work well. I have used them in my home for 3 yrs. I also use them in my truck when I travel. They are great.

There is a connection at the antenna called a BALON I think. It convertes the 300 ohm from the antenna to 75 ohm. Then you can use a RG-6 coax cable from there. I did find that the transformer on the antenna didn't work. I put an external one on and it worked ok. Hope this helps you.

After looking at the other answers---yes, the antenna connector will connect to the Wilson amplifier, but you can also use the antenna as a stand-alone with the cell phone. Truckers often get the Wilson amp, which is NOT cheap, to use with this antenna because they may be in very poor cell reception areas. I'm actually using this antenna at home. It has what is called a "ground plane"---that's the solid lines sticking out horizontally. With a "ground plane", you can place the antenna anywhere---on a car or truck or on a pole at home. Just be sure to keep the antenna away from metal, like the roof. The antenna normally mounts on the external mirror bracket on a truck, which positions it up and away from the roof of the vehicle.

The Wilson antenna is a dual band cellular antenna. The issue is not whether it will work with Sprint. It will. The issue is whether or not you have the appropriate antenna adapters, the appropriate amplifier, or the appropriate cradle or all 3.

this antenna is designed to be used with Wilson's mobile signal booster. I can't comment on whether or not you can use it as a signal boosting element by itself. I use Wilson's mobile signal booster with it and it does a great job. The magnet is super strong. I would recommend placing it on the vehicle and leaving it. I moved mine back and forth between two vehicles and I noticed that the adhesive on the bottom that holds the magnet to the antenna loosened just a bit, but not separating. It comes with plenty of cable to place it in the center of a vehicle roof or trunk lid. It's worth the money getting the whole package. If you can get 1 bar on your cell, it will boost it to at least 3 bars. ( that's my experience) Hope this helps. side note: be sure you get the right booster for your particular carrier ( AT&Platinum, Verizon, Sprint...etc)
