Are we still talking about a GPS cable for a $100 femtocell??!?

Dude, don't do that. LMR600. We buy it by the thousands of feet. It is
much easier to run, less prone to damage, and equivalent in loss per
frequency range.

That's most helpful! Do you have any idea what kind of cable
that was? I'm assuming anything that will handle 1600 MHz
with minimal loss will work?

It's an SMB connector, but again I find it really had to
believe that if you stick it outside until you get a good
sync and power it down that it won't resync indoors, I've
never tried inside of a nuclear bunker, but in normal
houses and offices with tile and metal roofs I've never
had one issue.

The Verizon cell extender (made by Samsung) has
a little connector (don't recall the type, but
it's about the size of MCM or so). Put a wire on
the end of the coax, and you're there.

Verizon's Samsung SCS series 3G and 4G
Network Extender is what I was dealing
with. We had to run our own GPS antenna
from the roof down to the basement to get
the damn thing to sync properly.
As an aside, I didn't realize the Low E
windows were code now, and this is a very
newly renovated building. Will keep that in
mind!

Pull out a GPS App on your phone

my phone GPS receiver was working
in rooms where the windows were

the windows were closed. Building
management didn't even know they'd
purchased the windows with RF film.

It might not be just a matter of
getting the location. If they use
the 1pps clock from GPS to
calibrate an oscillator before
they start transmitting, then it
would legitimately take 20-30 minutes.
Telrad BTS's are like that too.
Pisses me off if I ever have to
reset the power.

All bets are off if it is a

building or something like that.
I still find it amazing that
anything works at -162 RSL.
Thanks to tiny channel size
and very basic modulation.

Also requires enough GPS
