What is the relationship between the outdoor and indoor antennas, to a cellular repeater? Some specifics.... I recently purchased the Cellphone-Mate CM2100 62dB AWS Amplifier (1700/2100 MHz) . I still have to purchase the : - Outdoor antenna - Indoor antennas - Coax cable - Splitter I've noticed that there are varying db gains antennas (both outdoor and indoor), so I'm not sure which one would be right for me. I realize that I must have some signal in order for this device to work. Well, the good news is that I do have a signal although it's VERY faint and 95% of the time I can only get one bar from outside of my house. I LOVE the plan I've got and don't want to switch to another company. So before I purchase the outdoor and indoor antennas, I need to know which one(s) will give me the strongest signal, and what their relationship is between the antennas and the cellular repeater. I'm so lost.

What is the difference between "repeater" and "relay station" (used in cellular phones and ham radio) ?

I need General definition about cellular repeaters ? can anyone help me about my bs project . i need some general document about cellular and GSM repeaters and boosters and their types and definitions .i searched for it on the net but there is no general all of them is Commercial advertising and their information is not enough. I am thankful if someone can send me some documents. my article should be about 100 page and my contests is low and weak now general definition - types (full band - band selective - channel selective - frequency shifting - optical fiber-) their usage - cost difference between bts station and repeaters- and everything you have that can help me. im thankful again. im Waiting for your scientific contributions

Are there any products out there that boost/amplify not only WiFi signals, but also cellular signals? I know there are products that do each (wifi repeaters, range extenders, etc.) and the same for cellular ... but is there an all-in-one item? I just bought a two-story with my office on the second floor. On the ground floor my iPhone and my WiFi don't work so well ... I would prefer not to have 2 products. Thanks.

Will Cell Phone Repeaters close to my house give me cancer? I have these cell phone repeaters on the roof of a building ajecent my house, its about 100 meters away and about 150 feet up. There are two of them, and they belong to a local cell phone company, so they are cellular repeaters. They stand about 30 feet tall, and have some dishes and antennas on them. Besides from making me tired and giving me headaches, will these things eventually give me cancer?

anyone use a cellular phone booster in their home? We live in a remote area and lose our signal often. I was considering purchasing a wireless repeater/cell phone booster. If anyone has used one and can recommend an economical brand/model OR if anyone thinks they are "useless," the information is appreciated.

Is there any equip we can buy to boost a signal from a nearby town to my laptop on the beach in Yucatan MX? No phone lines for dial up in our area. There are phone lines and high speed in the next town west of Progreso which is Chelem. However, Telmex does not provide any service to the beach area. We are further west of Chelem near Chuburna. Could a signal from nearby Progreso be boosted through the use of some equip? Is it possible to bring the signal that far by getting a local internet cafe in Progreso to allow us to connect to their Wi-fi for a fee and what type of equipment could facilitate that? The only other thing we have heard is the possibility of some internet provider placing repeater towers along the beach to bring the signal down there. We have a Blackberry but coverage is sketchy through T-Mobile. We have heard that perhaps a cellular company could facilitate something that plugs in to the laptop by subscribing to some kind of service?

Cellular Phone Ban in Telephone Central Offices? I've worked in many central offices ;AT&T I have found is the worst about cell phone use in there C.O., saying it has caused equipment damage and dropped thousands of customers just from one cell phone call 1 person made one floor below a switch. Then at a Verizon office they have no such rule and when i casually ask a tech about why they allow cell phones they look at me funny and wonder what the hell I'm talking about and have never heard of such a thing. I currently work at a 300,000 square foot datacenter, AT&T, verizon and more service carriers are present there, but we have no rules about cell phone useage, and actually we are in the process of running an antenna feed to our floor to repeaters to expand our cell phone coverage throughout the campus. Just curious if anyone has anything to add. Thanks No one is pulling my leg, AT&T has signs all over the place and I have been kicked out of one of their CO's because i forgot to turn my cell phone off and it rang when i near a tech.

can cellphone boosters crash networks? us cellular is disallowing the sales of signal boosters, even wireless ones by their third party agents because they 'claim' if, say an RV convention came to town, an overload of boosters/ repeaters could crash an infrastructure. Is there any truth to that?

can u us this radio to talk to people with a CB radio? YAESU VX 8R 50/144/220/440 Handheld Four-Band Radio The Yaesu VX-8R HT provides a full 5 watts FM on 50/144/430 MHz plus 1.5 watts on 222 MHz. It supports Bluetooth® hands-free operation with the optional BU-1 and BH-1 or BH-2 accessories. There is also an optional GPS unit and antenna with loads of features. This radio supports APRS 1200/9600 bps data communication (B band only). Like the VX7R, the VX8R is submersible and meets IPX57 specifications (3 feet for minimum of 30 minutes). A powerful 7.4 V 1100 mAh Lithium Ion battery is included. This HT is small, intuitive to operate, only 2.36 x 3.74 x 0.92 inches (thinner than VX-7R). It supports simultaneous independent 2-signal dual receive function with both V + V or U + U. It has weather band receive with Weather Alert. A barometric sensor is included. You can even operate Amateur radio while receiving FM broadcasts! The receive coverage is wider than VX-7R, with an independent AM/FM broadcast receiver circuit. The dot matrix LCD display provides Memory tag up to a maximum of 16 characters. You even get a high-resolution Spectrum Analyzer with ±60 channels indication with wave monitoring of received/modulated signal! And DCS and CTCSS encode and decode is standard. The VX-8R comes with the SMA antenna, FNB-101LI Lithium Ion battery pack, belt clip and NC-86B battery charger.
