Re: [Repeater-Builder] Cellular Antenna question
Antenna itself is $49.99, can be picked up at most truck stops. Then the adapters for the phone is usually around $9.99, and then a 20' cable is usually around $25.00, it comes with 10 feet on the antenna. I will have to get the model number in the morning.

There is a company that makes a 1/2 wave antenna from Wilson. Not the CB antenna company. I sell several of them, and they work great.

[Repeater-Builder] Cellular Antenna question
This is a little off topic but may benefit others. I have a week Verizon signal in my house. Not much better outside either. Can go around the block and get better signal. Just two miles from the nearest tower. Would like to put an antenna on my tower and connect it to one in the house house to use as a passive system. Any suggestions. BTW. Have contacted Verizon service about the signal. Doubt if anything will get done since carriers don't guarantee service inside buildings. -- Amateur Radio W4HNK EM92vx Yahoo!
