 A Waste of Money! October 12, 2009
Gary L. Griffiths (Keosauqua, IA USA)

We installed the zBoost YX230-PCS/CEL signal booster with the antenna on top of the roof of our motor home, running the antenna wire in beside the CB antenna cable, then mounted the transmitting antenna near the center of our RV. We turned on the unit IAW the instructions, then turned on the cell phone. To make a long story short, it does nothing to strengthen the signal in rural Iowa, and seemingly did nothing in rural Wyoming, either. We were unable to detect any discernible signal boost or better clarity in our cell phone usage no matter whether the unit was turned on or off. This unit is a complete waste of money, as far as we're concerned.

I drive in a large metro area and in the past always dropped calls in certain area's. With the YX230, the dropped calls have gone down in those area's. Solid product

I had this product installed in my car. I travel through a area where I always loose my connection. I can not get any coverage for about 50 miles. This cut that loss to about 25 miles. I did not get the entire area but it was better than what I had before.

Where we spend our summers in NW Washington we get 1 or no bars. Some days we can place and receive calls, some not. All I wanted was a solid 1 bar. I had no change whatsoever. I Experimented with different places for the antenna, inside and out, nothing made a difference. I sent it back. In case you wonder, I spent 32 years in electronics, so I know a little bit. My purpose was to place it in our RV for when we are traveling. Obviously it would not be satisfactory for that either.

This item is giving me an additional 2 to 3 bars more signal which I think is very respectable. I live in a very rural area where cell phone signal can be very spotty. The booster certainly helped.
