Will it work to repeat a signal off a cliff into a canyon 1,700 below if I set up battery and solar panel?

I don't think it will go that far. While the booster takes very little power which would enable a solar panel to power it (as long as it can put out 120 volts at 10 - 15 watts), the signal from the indoor antenna only travels about 20 - 30 feet it seems. I have the indoor antenna in my living room, and it gives me a stronger signal in the living room, kitchen, and dining room, but that's about 30 feet at the most. Beyond that, if I go outside, I don't see a difference with the booster.

I have a set sending a signal to another house and from that house I send it to 2 other houses using another 2 sets. I have a network hub that they are all plugged into that is also a wireless access point. So, I think what you are trying to do shooting over a hill will work. BTW, I have a total of 5 of these throughout my network sharing 1 internet connection between 6 houses.

Yes, but you will have signal loss, Unless you are using it with a non battery device.

i use it with two deepcycle batteries, i have a solar cell 68w connected to the batteries, it runs all the time with this setup in my camper

The quick and easy answer is, Yes, it should work for that, the only thing I haven't tested with it is how it will react to loss of source voltage. You'll just have to be sure to set up the output voltage limit to the proper value for the 36 volt battery (41.4V or so for lead acid). I would also set the current limit to a value that would not overload the solar cells in normal lighting conditions.

yes; but just remember this unit is just a trickle charge. It will keep it up, but real slow. Also make sure your batteries are topped off with distilled water.

Yes. That is what I use it for. I have a long antenna run from a pole on top of my chimney all the way to my basement, with two splits along the way, and had weak reception on my basement TV. I added the signal booster to the run just before the last split and it improved the signal strength on both lines.

I don't think it will work. Not sure the unit has enough power to "signal" an entire chain link fence.

Yes, but beware, you probably want to charge more than just 1 battery, more like a small bank of batteries. For example, I have mine hooked up to a small bank of 8 SLA 12V batteries giving me about 1500 watts stored to power a 1200 W Inverter for appliances. It's like a solar powered battery pack so that I can work and have phone conversations in the most odd places (no generator noise in the background, just pure silence or nature noises, it's awesome). You'll want a decent charge controller (I bought a 10 Amp controller, which is overkill, but has the better charge-methods and pattern that I wanted). Good Luck!

No it did nothing for my situation. I live in a valley about 2 miles from a tower. My signal is always 2 or less & I sent this back as it didn't change the signal at all. I even had a directional antenna.

Yes this will work. The whole purpose of having this controller is so that once a battery is "fully charged" (at ~14V), this will "disconnect" or "shut-off" the charging so you don't get the battery up to levels like the 17.5V you mention (where it will damage the battery). Even if the solar power is at levels like ~30V (while it's not charging the battery), this will still function blocking the solar power from getting to the battery until the battery voltage comes back down to 13V where it again lets the "charge" power thru.

Yes. Distance is subject to line of sight and any obstacles in the way. If your final signal is marginal, then you can add another on the other end to strengthen the signal.

No, USB will work at longer distances than 5m. I don't know the power rating, but receivers do not need a whole lot of power to receive a signal. I'm using mine about 2 blocks away and thru some trees and works flawlessly.

If your only goal is to get a better signal by placing this in the window as opposed to next to you, that should work. This product is not an upgrade over internal GPS chips in most of the high end devices.

Yes it will as long as the solar panel will get 6-8 hours of sunlight. I have two of them and they work great. The motion sensor works up to about 10-15 feet away, perfect

Its possible. I have a small rock area around one of my trees and it does a nice job there. It has to power settings so you should be able to get the job done.

Yes. I mounted it on the back of my RV to see what is behind. will need a small coax cable for signal and a separate two wire cable for 12 vdc power.
