It does work in Virginia!!!!

This is my second unit.  The first one would not run at full throttle without bogging down.  At half throttle, ran good but not enough air flow.  Seemed like a mixture adjustment but did not have the special tool to adjust.  It started real easy by following the directions on the casing.  CPO sent another, with a return ebill (via email)

The second unit ran great, good power, lots of air velocity, easy to start, cold, hot, and in-between.

The fellow who has the sticking choke problem, note that the choke, does not return manually when you push the lever back.  the choke pops off when you press the trigger/throttle, at least on both the units I received.

Both units looked almost brand new, maybe a little shelf wear and a short run to check it out.  A few minor scratches on the bottom.

The manual leaves something to be desired!!!  It is obviously for a slightly different model than the one received.  The main difference is in the starting procedure and the air filter (mine does not have one).  Big NOTE here, follow the starting procedure on the casing.  The manual and one of the copied pages says hold the throttle while pulling the starter.  The other copied page says DO NOT hold the throttle (the one I have).  If you hold the throttle, the choke will pop off and you will never get it started cold.... Mine started real easy with choke on, primer bulb 7 to 8 times, pull starter, wait a few seconds after starting then press the throttle.  Started the first time on the 3rd pull.  The first pull thereafter hot, with no throttle or choke, the 2nd or 3 pull when warm but not hot, with no throttle or choke.

The lack of an air filter is a real concern.  The carb has a very course mesh screen over the inlet which is fine for hands, feet, and big leaves, but not dust.  Blowing leaves or sucking them up is a very dusty job.  All that dust will be sucked into the engine and do nasty things to the pistons, bearings, and cylinder walls.  I will find or make a filter to put in it.  Hopefully, no carb adjustment or such will be necessary.

I will be using it heavily in about a month or so when the weather permits.  If I find problems, I will so report here.

It works really well as long as you pick up the call right at the phone in the main jack - it doesn't work on any of our extensions off of that.  But, we love picking up a call (esp. robocalls) there & pushing that button & seeing the word "SUCCESSFUL" come up!!!!  Has eliminated a lot of calls, unfortunately they just go to a new number to do those damn calls - Congress should have to deal with it, then maybe something would get done about it!!!!

My husband and I are retrired and live in the country in Virginia. In the town where we live, the cell phone towers are way outside our area and  we do not have access to the towers like most city or suburban dwellers do.  The cell phone antenna booster assisted us with the use of our cell phone, especially during the fall season when the trees were full of beautiful foilage. Unfortunately, the tree foilage seemed to be a hazzard for the use of our cell phone. It blocked the tower signal and caused delays of the communication by slowing down the use of the internet.  The cell phone booster was helpful, especially during that season.  We used the booster for several years as we used a  prepaid  phone plan.  I would like to suggest that you find out what cell phone carrier works best in your HOME so that you get the most benefit of the cell phone antenna booster. I would like to recommend that an alternative form of outside contact be available as the cell phone reception wasn't always available; AND in a time of an EMERGENCY, you will always need some type of outside contact (especially if you live way out in the boonies).  Remember, the cause for inadequate cell phone reception may be issues with the cell phone carrier, or the cell phone tower and not the Cell Phone Antenna Booster.  I sincerely hope you find this information useful.

This was wonderful!!! I took it on my dream trip to Rome and it worked perfectly. Pick-pockets abound in Rome and especially on the metro and several times my group was targeted by them. The pick-pockets never succeeded with me and my identity wasn't stolen and it's been a couple months so I am confident this product works. The purple is a really great color too.

It works!  It really works!  I was quite skeptical but had received a recommendation from a trusted source so I thought to give it a try.  EASY setup, and it WORKS!!!  I should mention the double-sided stickers to mount it aren't so good so be prepared to supply your own.

BTW, I live in a location where it's usually nearly impossible to receive broadcast stations, and this is as clear as cable or satellite dish, and I was shocked at how many stations it receives.

it works very well.. i now live in the heart of Glendale, California a mile from Los Angeles and i can pull in a lot of channels most of them foreign language which limits my choices but the Mohu works well and gets very clear sharp reception even without an amplifier.. most of the channels i do get come in just as sharp as the cable (lousy basic television selection from Charter Cable which is why i am thinking of cutting the cord)..
the Mohu does a good job i recommend it.. and try moving it around your room like maybe put it in the window.. helps a lot.. another great product i got from Amazon..

Worked perfectly everywhere in England! I almost didn't purchase due to poor reviews-- glad I did... REgarding the issue reported in some reviews about the unit not staying plugged in-- had to prop something against it to keep charge-- well I found if this happened actually the unit was plugged in up-side-down... when I unplugged and plugged back in correctly- the unit worked without any problems-- only design enhancement would be to mark the correct way to plug in or retro-fit to insure the unit is plugged in correctly.

This product works great here in Florida. I have some brothers in Cali who cannot use this due to their regulations. Be sure to check it out before purchase!

for geographic reference I live 25 miles NW of DC.

The only CON was that the square antenna band takes a bit more lateral "real estate", but for the good reception I'm getting, its worth it

SUMMARY:

Someone gave me an old style antennae with a booster attachment and it worked OK, but I had to adjust it for certain channels, then during a surgical recovery I used cable for a couple of months then when I had the cable turned off, I couldn't get the old boosted antennae to restore the usual network (ABC, CBS, NBC, PAX, PBS, UPN AND WB{local}) reception.

So I did some research on booster antennaes and found this item advertised at a local big screen TV retailer.  As they were highly recognized for being hi-quality and hi-tech, I did some more research on the TERK TV5 and while there were very few, (apparently this a reasonably new product), all the reviews I found were positive, so I ordered one oneline (saved $10 over the local retailer).

I installed the antennae in a matter of minutes (very simple design) and plugged it in.

Turned the TV on and VOILA! instant reception in the above channels and a few others too.

I am VERY pleased and satisfied, requires little or no adjustment (for my area) between channels.

This actually works!!! Tried it on our rail line, to see if it would go through and it didn't!
Then I tap it on our bus line and it still didn't go through!!! I had to take it out the sleeve for it to work!!!
That's how I know it works!!!!
other products like this I try and they don't work!!

We were having problems with very slow internet connection using our USB air card. We are in a very rural location without access to cable or DSL so the air card was a great improvement over dial-up for several years but recently something has changed.  Verizon (our provider) says they have done nothing to decrease our service, but we went from 1 to 2 bars on the reception indicator to 0 bars and losing connection (in the middle of transactions) became a frequent event. I don't have to comment on how frustrating that can be.  We decided to try this Wilson Signal Booster and it really works.  We went from no bars to 4 bars on cell phones and on the internet and things have really sped up.

It was fairly easy to install and so far we have nothing but praise for this product.  I decided to buy this particular booster after reading feedback from other customers who had purchased it, and also on less expensive ones.  I've learned over the years that more often than not... you get what you pay for... so spend the extra money on this product, you will be glad you did.

After a lot of reading about the SPOT Messenger, I ordered it, holding my breath that it would work. The reviews on this device are really mixed with some reviews saying the device didn't work at all.

I ordered my SPOT about a week before my motorcycle trip to the Big Bend, TX area. I wanted something that would notify friends and family of my location and have a means to ask for help should I have a breakdown or something worse out of cell phone range.

The setup and registration worked without any issue. I subscribed to the extra optional service that lets me lead a bread crumb trail on the SPOT web site so people can see where I am at any given moment.

All in all, the device worked. I had it mounted to the top of my tail bag on my motorcycle and it was on in "Track Me" mode for about 8 hours a day over 3 days total. I used the check-in feature every time I stopped for gas (about every 2 hours) and the device logged my location about every ten minutes since I had the "Track Me" feature enabled.

Line of sight to the open sky (or maybe a better way to say this is a completely unobstructed view of the sky) seems to be required. When I'd "check-in" at a gas station I'd notice the message was queued (you can tell by the blinking sequence) while I was under the  pavilion roofs that most gas stations have over their pumps--even though these pavilions are very high.

No big complaints. Some quibbles--you press and hold the buttons (Check-In, etc.) until it blinks--that way you know the button push has been acknowledged. Hard to see this when your finger is actually on the button.

Other issue is that this device has now been superseded by a newer version which I can upgrade to for $99.

Net is that device worked on my trip and I'll continue to use this. Will post future experiences.

After reading the reviews on many websites, I decided to give the Monster iCarPlay a shot.  I live in a very congested area of the world (northern VA) and wasn't sure that I'd be able to get a clear radio signal without static or other broadcasting.

I have been VERY impressed with the results so far.  I have travelled about 1000 miles in the past month and have yet to not be able to use the iCarPlay.  Sure, every now and then I'll have to switch frequencies but it's easy to do and at least one other channel is clear so my listening music is never really disturbed.

It's compact, easy to use, and portable.  Best of all, it really works!!!

IT DOES NOT WORK!!!! I received it yesterday and followed the directions exactly, nothing. The wifi bars light up on the extender but I still have the same dead spots!!! I moved it to every outlet in the house with the same result. Maybe the house is too big? If a 1250 sq ft house it too big then everyone should save their money. FYI- I am disabled and moving it all over the house trying to get it to work is extremely difficult and then for something that does not work, makes me mad!!!

MSRM- THANK YOU FOR YOUR OFFER BUT I AM NOT INTERESTED IN A FREE EXTENDER IN EXCHANGE FOR A  4 OR 5 STAR REVIEW OR DELETING MY BAD REVIEW. GARBAGE IS GARBAGE EVEN IF IT IS FREE !!!!

Reading many other reviews and seeing what is expected I thought I would share what really works.

This device will NOT make your connection faster.  It may help if you have some dead spots.  It 100% works to deliver a WiFi signal to a device that has a wired (ethernet / RJ-45) connection, but no built-in WiFi.

Here is how I used it:

1.  We have a DirecTV DVR in a bedroom that does not have a wired (ethernet) connection.
2.  The wife likes to watch on-demand shows that she missed.
3.  The DVR does not have WiFi

I connected it to my laptop (WiFi turned off) using the supplied cable.
Connected to http://192.168.10.253 using Chrome.
Selected "Repeater" from the menu/
It found my home WiFi and I selected that.
Clicked on Save and Reboot
It rebooted (15-30 seconds)
I was then able to take it to the DVR and plug it in (had to use an extension cord since I didn't have a long enough Cat 6 cable ready)

Bada Bing Bada Boom.  On demand is now working.
Happy Wife = Happy Life  :)

Saved me from cops many times over the time I have had it. But sucks in Virginia because Virginia has dumb liberal laws preventing your right of using it.

It works, I got all 12 air channels available in our middle of nowhere Midwest. My only problem is a remote, which works at  2 yards max
with strait direction on device only.
