Jim, For the past two years or more I've used a different Wilson amplifier (specific to iPhones and no longer available) coupled to a spreader-mounted cellular antenna about 15 feet above the LWL with great success. Cruising underpopulated areas of Maine and Nova Scotia where cell service with a "naked" phone is often a problem, slipping my iPhone into the amplifier typically takes me from no signal or one bar right up to three and sometimes four bars and good, solid communications, both data and voice. I liked the Wilson so well I bought one for my car and have had a similar good experience with it, though using the standard antenna on top of the car doesn't provide quite as much gain as the antenna on the boat's spreader. Tech support from Wilson has been superior. Of course, YMMV. --Milt Baker, Nordhavn 47 Bluewater Message: 5 Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2013 09:14:06 -0500 From: JHWardJr <jhwardjr@aol.com> To: "trawlers@lists.trawlering.com" <trawlers@lists.trawlering.com> Subject: T&T: WILSON SLEEK 4G cellphone booster/cradle Message-ID: <95CBF351-63A8-4231-BB66-84EC69BF2CF8@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > Anybody used this? Seems easy and can be transported boat-to-auto. ~$110 street price. Can I sit my MiFi brick in it and boost that signal, as well? I use Verizon and would need the 4G-V model. Is there a cheaper/better option? > Thanks, Jim
