Wilson cell antenna and US Cellular question

[bmoeller]

Needing an antenna for better reception in poor signal areas. Have been looking at the Wilson trucker antenna, and wondered if they work with US Cellular phones.

Any help would be great, before plunking down the cash.



Thanks.

I run the Wilson Trucker on my 99 and 04. 5... night and day difference between no antenna and with antenna... very few places I don't have service...



As long as Wilson makes an adapter for you phone, it will help... service provider doesn't matter.



I got a bunch of my Wilson stuff off eBay for cheap...

The reason I asked, is because the service provider does seem to maker, at least around here. I know some truckers that were using them, but didn't help much with their phones. They were mostly on Petes, but they also have some KW and Frieghtshakers.

Try these guys, I've delt with them on a few cell repeaters and i'm real satisfied.

Wilson 3 Watt Booster

Have you tried using a 3 Watt booster with your antenna?

That is what I use with a 5db gain antenna. The booster works great.

Don't have the antenna yet, but will keep the amp in mind. Might still need it where I run sometimes.

I'd give the guys at 12 Volt a call. They are VERY knowledgable about the products they sell. They took the time to answer every question I had about my CB antenna and were really great to work with. They actually answered every email I sent within a day. They sell the complete line of Wilson Cellular stuff.

Very good

I use a Wilson trucker antenna and a Hustler. The Wilson is very good but the Hustler marine antenna is much better. For the price I would stick with the Wilson I think the Hustler is over $300, it still needs a mount and it is about 6'x2"

Well, I bought a Wilson antenna. So far, I'm happy with it. Was able to carry on a conversasion at one of the salebarns I go to a lot. Normally can't keep a signal for more than 30 sec at a time. Usually have to use a land line out there. Was out in the Appalachian Mtns recently. Where I was able to get one bar without the Wilson, I usually got 3 out of 5 with it.
