Hi,

I am considering purchasing and installing a digital cell phone
antenna and amp to give a better range when near cell towers.

Anyone out there use one and have results to report?

Thanks,

Yes, I use GSM - Cellular One which is "digital". The amp and antenna
seems to extend the range, at least as compared with wearing the cell phone
on my belt. The marine antenna is made by Antenna Specialists (I think)
and this particular amp has no manufacturer's name on it. "Digital", btw,
refers to the modulation technique. Be certain, however, that the amp is
compatible with PCS or Digital as the frequency band is different - 1900
Mhz as opposed to 800 Mhz used by conventional cellular (CDMA, TDMA also
modulation techniques)
