Cell repeater - Cammalu - 03-03-2018
Not often, but often enough, I get a very weak or even nonexistent signal. I’m tired of it and want to get a booster or repeater or whatchmacallit.
I went to Amazon and noticed they run from $30 to $500 bucks.
I’ve been trying to school myself to understand what I need but I’m getting tired.
Anyone want to chime in? Don’t you have one TX?

Is this while you’re inside or outside of your vehicle?

Inside and out. I think there are a couple of components? The repeater, cable and antenna?

Here's Chris and Sherrie's video on them. Kinda boils down to either installing a system in your rig with interior and exterior antenna, or a cradle for a single device.

Excellent video that I will have to watch again, and again till something sticks.

So what is it? I see a flat dark colored thing with a whatcha macallit in the top center of it. It's hard to learn stuff when you don't speak the language.....well for me it is anyway.Jewellann

It is an indoor signal amplifier with an outdoor antenna that you point towards the cell tower.
