In the same box? Since we're putting a hole in the roof anyway, we are wondering if there would be interference issues if we ran the cable for a roof mounted cell booster antenna in the same box as the cable for the solar panels.
All my solar and antenna wires use the same rooftop combiner box - haven't seen any interference issues. When you get that WeBoost amplifier you will be surprised at how lightweight the antenna cable is (I heat wrapped mine for protection) so don't go cutting another hole until you get the antenna and try using the one box. OR, buy a slightly larger combiner box so you can fit everything - fewer holes in the the roof is always better.We decided to get another box and make another hole. Too many wires for that one box.
We have ordered the WeBoost Drive 4G-S refurbished from WilsonAmplifiers.com for $155, free shipping. Recommended by Steve.
Most of our hiking is in areas where cell signal is quite weak. I understand that sometimes we still won't have any at all--the device can't manufacture signal. We have absolutely nowhere to mount the inside unit--a disadvantage of maximum windows. I assume we will set it up when needed.
We were just contemplating the possibility and not ready to pull the trigger until we realized that it should be now or never. The front ceiling panel is down for the solar and I dont want to pull it again. We are trying to think of anything we might ever want to do up there. I have put Thinsulate over the cab. That has bugged me but I didn't yet have the magic button puller tool when the ceiling went up.
1) I read up on the unit you're getting. It's a low power unit and the cradle-design means that the RF in the van will be only at the cradle. Outside antenna RF will be higher but even so, it appears the Wilson stuff is FCC approved. I believe that you do have to register the unit with your phone service provider.This warning is for the outside antenna, right?
I added a Ham Radio in mine... I can talk all over the world from my dining table in the van! I installed it under the drivers seat with an antenna connector on my hitch bar....Also has anyone added a CB radio to their RV?
While they function the same way, the frequencies at which they boost are not the same. They are not cross compatible.Question, is cellular booster same as wifi booster? Also has anyone added a CB radio to their RV?
