Hi all
I live in a really bad reception area for telstra and a friend gave me his booster.
Its originally a mobile setup with an outside magnetic aerial with another inside flat aerial.
It came from the the US and are supposed to be illegal in Australia.
We use it as a home base so I think its ok.
The problem as telstra see it is when you drive around with one of these in the car you supposedly kick people off the cell towers.
Its perfect for us and it has about a 30m or so radius.
I tried the pasive aerial and it sort of worked but nowhere near the power from the booster.
You need one for each carrier eg telstra and optus.
Because we live in a low signal area we can buy a home base system which can boost the signal for a radius of 500m. We have been quoted $1300 and we need written permission from telstra or buy one from the US for $600 and hope it gets in.
The mobile one we've got boosts a zero signal to 3-4 bars if you're about 10m away.
Sounds like this is the sort of system you need and because you're not driving around and its a bad reception area i think it should be ok.
Cheers
Andy
