 Posted: Sat Jun 10, 2006 9:24 pm Post subject: Antenna Question?? |
 |
|
Hi guys!
Quick question to all the evdo experts out there.
I have got a merlin V620 and am sitting on the edge of signal. the tower is about 3.4 miles "As the crow flys". Problem there are some small hills between me and the tower. Posibly why I don't have service. will an antenna fix this problem?? I can spend about 100 bucks right now but can upgrade when I get more money any ideas.
Sorry for the bad spelling. 
Thanks in advance |

If you are picking up the EVDO signal now and just need enough to get you over the top . The booster -Antenna from www.Booster-antenna.com should get you over the top. If that does not a good exterior antenna mounted outside should get the job done if that ends up being the case we have Yagi antenna that needs to be aimed but once it is gets great signal. |

. There is 20 feet of cable on our dual band Yagi . You would wnt to get up in the air a good height and find out where the EVDO tower is so you can aim it. |
