ExPro 505DB Full Duplex 3 Watt Booster Kit

The ExPro 505DB Full Duplex Antenna Booster solves major problems
encountered by cellular phones used while driving, such as, unstable
reception, unclear vocal quality, difficulty accessing calls or calling
out, and even calls being disconnected. The ExPro 505DB will boost
your handheld cell phone to a full 3 watts.


All the above is TRUE, EXCEPT, the Output Power of a cellphone is not
controlled by the Cellphone itself, but by telecommand from the Cellsite
that it is communicating with. ALL Cellphones, even PCS Cellphones, use
this Subscriber Power Control System, and you, as a user, have NO control
over that part of the system. So you may have a 3 Watt Capability, but
unless your in a rural area, with very LARGE Cells, or Off-Shore, and
far from the Cellsite, all that power isn't even being used. It is nice
to know that it is there, Maybe......
