KPC-650 w/AMP and Antenna = Happy Camper

Rangerw

I had the PC-5470 card and getting -85-95 RSSI with unstable download speeds, including stalling etc.

Upgraded to the KPC-650 with a Amp and Booster Antenna from booster-antenna.com and now see a solid -68 RSSI and constant download speeds of 125d/90-110u. I'm in a 1XRTT area.

I also bought a Wilson Trucker from them at the same time but not seeing any improvement over the booster antenna, but still playing with it. I may set it up at the deer camp were my 1XRTT signal is realy challanged. -110 to -105 RSSI there. I may be max'd out here with the booster antenna and the trucker won't do me any good here at home.

I'd recommend booster-antenna's products for anyone with an unstable signal, thier products do work.

I am A Newbee here, and have not yoe activated my KPC650, but am just testing within my environment (I work on a Freighter on the Great Lakes). How are you getting your RSSI valuse? I can't seem to find this in VZaccess manager.

Hold the mouse cursor over the signal bars at the bottom of VZAccess Manager. Values should popup in a second or so.

Use BOTH antennas on a 650.

Black port is transmit, white is receive. Put whichever antenna is better on white.

You may have to "key shave" one of the ends as they're "keyed" left and right. Just shave one corner off the rubber with a sharp knife.
