Hi Mathew,
You could try to do a passive antenna
system & that would cost a whole lot less. The last time I purchased a cell
extender they were not 600.00 but not sure what they recommended. I installed a
passive system at a friends cabin in the cascades East of Eugene, OR and he has
Nextel. He had 1 bar on his cell phone outside & could barley make a call so
I installed a 800Mhg omni on the roof and a Larson stub antenna inside and he
has all but 1 bar on his cell phone. Just as a note where he had the 1 bar on
his phone was 32ft on the peak of the roof.

Hmmm, well goes to show that our phone company here
does not know all they claimed to know. I have a customer that will just
be over excited. His problem is he lives in such an area that cell phone
coverage is very poor, we put up an antenna, but then he his tied to a wire,
which does not work well for a shop, not to mention that he is in a wheel
chair. I called three different carriers, and was told that there was no
devices that would allow him to become unattached. Although, last year
they did mention the $600.00 repeater for cell service, not an option at that
price. Well now I can show him and I'm sure he will buy one to make life
much easier.

Mathew,
These things in general have been on the market sence before 1995. I
was a hardware and software design engineer for a well known alarm
company back then and we had a product that would do the same thing
for the Motorola "bag phone" One could use the bag phone as a
secondary "phone line" in case the primary phone line went down for
any reason.

was told about a year ago that it could not be done? As we learn
something new each day. A very interesting product, could come in
handy for a lot of my people whom are tied to a wire due to the
coverage in their area. Thanks for pointing that out.
