Thankful for the terrestrial signal availability
351881
I work on the 3rd floor on an office building and have a window that faces the very direction that the manual says that the antenna needs to face.  The antenna gets a full terrestrial signal (which is great for me), but zero satellite reception.  If you don't live in an area that has supplemental terrestrial signals and you have to have you antenna indoors, you may want to think twice.

The only way I could get my mom a clear signal for her favorite FM station. Good reception with rare drop-outs, probably due to the wifi modem.

I get a great signal in Boston. In a big apartment complex with lots of buildings and trees that could/should block the signal.

I purchased this because I was having some real trouble picking up some of the HD radio signals at my home NE of Houston, TX. I especially like the 2 NPR stations but it seemed like the signal was too week for an indoor HD antenna so I got this one. I purchased a galvanized pipe made for fences that was about 8 ft long and was able to attach it to the frame of my house so the antenna is about 15 ft above the ground. The signal is now very good. Starting next month I plan to cut my cable TV off as I mostly stream movies or watch DVDs and am going to see if this will get me the local big 3 networks at all. If not, no big deal.

I have a home in a secluded rural area, too remote for cable, or any line of site booster products.  Cell signal was only available in certain spots in the front yard, and then was hit or miss.  With this booster properly aimed, I get 3-4 bars of cell signal reliably throughout the house, and full signal in many places. I can't speak to ease of install because my son-in-law did that for me with the included supplies, but the results are clear...This was well worth the price. If you live in a remote area with poor cell signal, I would highly recommend this product.

I live on the water with a very tall hill only feet behind me - reception *before* installing this was terrible.  From inside my phone and data card would attempt to talk back to towers across the water - and (on a good day) give up, revert to one bar of EDGE and at least let me do something slowly.  Phone was reading an RSSI of ~ -105 or so.  850 MHz was unusable, and 1900 MHz was OK if you could keep the signal.

*After* installing this - I put my phone into debug mode and I am seeing RSSI of about -70 to -75, sometimes -80-85 outside the room I put the internal antenna in,  Or, in non-tech terms -- THIS PRODUCT WORKS PERFECTLY!

Installation is easy, and doesn't require any special knowledge or tools.  Well worth the cost.

I purchased a pair of these for a back country trip in MT.  I am very happy with the GPS capability as I never lost signal even in very dense foliage and very cloudy days.  I was a little disappointed with the radio function but they work about as well as my motorola two radios so I would say they are at least comparable on that front.  The ability to track a partner is a huge help as well if someone were to get lost or get injured and be unable to use theirs as long as it is on and you have designated that persons device it will track them.

Does what I hoped for, now I can get a reliable signal from my remote camera to a viewing station.

I purchased this antenna for my Unite LTE Hotspot. It doubled my bars of overage so now I can reliably get up to 10 Mbps down and 2 up with 2-3 bars of signal. It made a big difference. Inside I was getting 1 bar LTE and sometimes falling back to 3G. Now I can reliably get 2-3 bars LTE. You do need to experiment and point the device in the direction of the strongest signal cell site. That takes time and trial and error. Be patient - it does work. For the price, good value as it includes the Coax cable as well as the adapter for the Unite external antenna port.
Thank you

Works well.  Still could use a stronger signal.

Great to have this when technology fails you in certain regions!

Glad I read up.  Looks like GE took over production and fixed the antenna problems by making it external and added status LEDs and an external on off button!  Huge improvements

We have an off grid cabin here in Maine and in our area cell coverage is very unreliable .
Our cabin also has a metal roof and is located in a hole surrounded by mountains the best signal just outside the cabin was 1 bar on voice and 1x data before we put up this booster.
 We could barely get our calls out and most of the time would drop the call.
I called Weboost with all my signal db readings to see if it would be possible to get improved coverage but they were little help the tec didn't seem to be interested in figuring it out he basically said it might work for you.
 So we just decided to try this unit and see what happened.
The installation went smoothly and I did the whole job in a half a day or so.
I bought an antenna mounting pole kit separately and I was very glad I did it worked perfectly for us at the peak of our gable roof.
The directions in the box were very basic so I didn't realize there was a surge protector available until after the install later at home I dicovered the detailed online manual.
So I ordered and Installed the surge protector after the fact wish I had known about it the first place/
 The antenna is now protected by a surge protector and a ground wire to ground rod the system is now protected against static electricity and lighting strikes.
After adjusting the antenna to the optimum location for us we are enjoying 3-4 bars voice and 3-4g data in the cabin with excellent results.
Our signal was so weak to start the booster receiver inside the building has to be within 10'-15' of the phone to work but if you're starting signal is better the indoor range would also be better.
We are running the booster with solar power as we are totally off grid and the setup is working terrific.
 It's so nice to not have to drive 5 miles to check emails and make calls now we can actually leave the phones on all the time inside the cabin not to mention any 911 calls would have been impossible before this devise was installed.
I would highly recommend this product if you have spotty reception it works great we were very surprised with the outcome of this project.

I've used my SG2 for four months, and when I can get a satellite signal, I love it.

Knowing the precise yardage to each pin, hazard and fairway target from anywhere on  the course increases my confidence in club selection, and thus my concentration over the ball and the accuracy of my approach shots.

I especially like the "mark ball location" feature which allows you to measure the distance of your previous shot -- now I have real data to indicate how far I hit each club.

THE PROBLEM: more often than not, my device cannot find a satellite signal.  This is incredibly frustrating!  I would be a five-star delighted customer if I could count on the gizmo to work when I get to the course.

I have no sense of whether connectivity is a function of geography (I live in Seattle), weather (I live in Seattle), tasking of GPS satellites to Iraq or what... but I cannot count on being able to use my SG2 when I go to play a round.

Check with other users in your area: if they have good satellite coverage, then buy with confidence.

Once I found a wall where it gets a good signal, I'm quite happy with it.  I haven't had it long enough to rate its longevity.

I'm surrounded by brick 2 and 3 flats which means signal easily pixilates whenever there is the slightest hint of wind or rain. I was more than pleased to finally find an antenna that really works and allows me to watch channels 2 and 11 without any problems when it is windy or raining.  Having it plug into the USB instead of the wall was the icing on the cake.

love it for my xm, and asking about news and weather!
