Please check the plastic that was around the antenna . It was taped to that. If not we will mail you another

 

No adapter. I'll PM you the address to send it to.

I was hoping to have a chance to get some MaxAmp RV performance data in poorer signal areas than where I am now, but that may not occur for another couple of weeks. I did however, have occasion to take the coach through a couple of areas in the southern Adirondacks recently where we know we get no signal at all, even with a rooftop 9dB cell antenna. We were traveling in a mini-convoy, so I wasn't able to stop and get any numbers, but my wife had her laptop fired up and connected to our Novatel 6620L Jetpack on Verizon. With the MaxAmp powered by our inverter, she never lost Internet service on our route through the normally dead areas. On the return trip, she turned off the MaxAmp's power part way through one of the usual no service areas, and immediately lost service. Turning it back on brought the Internet connection right back. As a point of interest in comparison to the 3-4 foot nominal range of the weBoost 4G-M inside antenna we had, the Jetpack is located about 10 feet from the MaxAmp inside antenna. Color me "impressed" so far... :)

Dutch - Super glad to hear your results for far.

 

I'm sort of scratching my head after a fast 7 day run, of 4-6 hours per day, from San Diego to now just South of Springfield, IL. We've been moving daily do slide in after some, and ahead of other, storms thru the mid plains. Scratching my head? Well I'm used to my WeBoost Sleek and seeing DB signal improvement as one indication of improved signals. Several of the places we've stopped these last few days have had good signal strength without the need of the amp. So I've just sort of figured the Amp could not add much to the already good signal.

 

Today we're at Hickory Park Campground, on Sangchris Lake, just South of Springfield. Very slow internet, and the Signal Pro app on our Samsung S6 indicate this, as well as seeing a 1 to 1-2 bar fluctuation on the normal phone signal strength indicator. Plugged the amp in, expecting to see the Signal Pro DB (and other values) improve. Dang if I could detect any differences between amp unplugged, or plugged in with Blue Light on. Due to other commitments, I've not been able to do any mapping, and or Speednet testing.

 

I want to take sometime, we'll be here for three days, and do some good readings and Speednet testing. I'll then pull out my old WeBoost Sleek, and see what it does too. I want to do this, before bothering Gord again, as I'm sure he will be as helpful when I call as he has every other time. (But I'm stubborn, and want to walk thru some data gathering and have info to share when I call.

 

Install:

-13" Max Signal Magnetic Antenna. Mounted of back part of the RV's roof, on a 10" metal table saw blade (Gord's recommendation for an effective ground plane.

-Inside Antenna mounted in front 1/3 of the coach, about 1/4 - 1/3 in from the side of the passenger side. (Head clearance concerns if mounted in the middle. Not ideal, as it is close to a kitchen cabinet, and thus does not have a 360 degree clearance. However, all locations that I've placed my phone for data usage, are in clear line of sight with the antenna. About 12' away when on the dash, and about 7-9' away when on the dining table side cabinet.)

Note: Have about 25-30' of separation from the outside and inside antenna...

 

The Blue Light indicates to me, that as far as the amp sees things, no problems on our set up.

 

Notes:

-I did call Gord with the Production Units 12V power supply not working. Which he later must have verified was not an isolated case, and has new supplies being prepared to send out to us that have these early units. I did plug it into the amp four different times, as I was first setting things up, before calling him about the 12V red light going out, and the amps Blue light also not lighting up.

-With the wall wart power, the amp does power up, and the Blue Light is on. But, wondering if plugging in the 12V power supply may have caused a problem. (Because my earlier garage test, with the wall wart power, had provided both increase DB Signal Pro number readings, and download Speednet testing speeds. Just not seeming to see any difference now. Both in good signal read, and more important, areas without a strong signal.

 

One key thing about this post. It is not a statement on the amp in anyway. I've seen it work in my Garage Test, and now just trying to dial things in with the unit installed in our rig. I know Jack Mayer has a unit, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he has to report on his early testing too.

 

Dutch's results are positive. And will also look forward to what Joel sees too.

 

And again, when I have more info pulled together, I'll call Gord and ask for guidance on what I might need to due to field test that my setup is correct, and working. (I will move the Inside Antenna into the middle of the ceiling and attach it temporally with Blue Painters tape, I left enough cabling to do this. To see if that makes any difference, as that is the preferred location as Gord explains it. My previous experience with omni antennas in production factory shop floor settings, makes me feel my location should not have impacted my signal to where my phone is placed for data usage... But, I've been known to be wrong before:)!

 

Should have my data pulled together in the next two days, with the only thing that could impact this being some forecast for some storm fronts blowing thru the area for the balance of our stay... So, I'll need to consider this too.

 

Sure appreciate everyone sharing their results, and excited for seeing Gord and Max Signal from the business front. But more so for myself, as we do really enjoy good data strength and speeds while traveling:)!

 

Best to all,

Smitty

Thanks, Smitty... I didn't get the 12-volt adapter yet, so I missed the early failure problems and have no idea if that could have damaged your amp somehow. My 13" mag antenna is mounted at the front of my coach on 12"x18" steel plate that also holds another cell antenna and a sat radio antenna. My inside antenna is ceiling mounted in an inside cabinet corner with about 15' spacing from the roof antenna. The location favors the passenger side, and seems to be giving us pretty good coverage in the awning/patio area outside as we had hoped it would. Preliminary testing showed little (1-2dB) signal loss at the rear coach window despite not being line of sight, and virtually no signal difference from the center of the coach to the driver's seat. I did note that getting within 1-2 feet of the inside antenna actually lowered (higher neg dB) the signal level slightly, likely due to overloading. The location I have it in doesn't lend itself to comfortably standing that close anyway, so that's not an issue at all.

Smitty,

 

I'm in the same situation you are; I'm not seeing any change in signal strength. Since we're not currently traveling I can't test against different locations but with a signal strength of ~-105dB I would have expected to have seen some improvement. Gord is sending me a new indoor antenna to see if that might be the problem. It should be here in a few days and I'll post the results after I get it. BTW, my installation sounds as if its very similar to yours.

Did a combination of four groups of 5 testing today. Decided to ignore Signal Pro readings, and just see what download speeds were obtained in various locations.

 

> NO QUESTION THAT THE MAX SIGNAL AMP PROVIDED SUPERIOR SPEEDS WHEN PHONE PLACED WITHIN 4' OF INSIDE ANTENNA. (Group 1 tests)

 

>The Group 3 tests non amp with phone on dashboard by windshield, are faster downloads then same location with Amp on in Group 2. (This is a puzzle to me, as others then the time differences and perhaps cell tower contention, I would not expect the 12-14' location away from the inside antenna with Amp on, to result in lower speeds??)

 

>The Group 4 tests, coach in mid coach location. Amp off, and phone 4' away from inside antenna. Reminder out coach has the bronze metal mirror coating looking windows, and I've always noted great reduction in phone signal anywhere in the coach by close to the windshield, with out the metal bronze mirror coating. So these numbers pass my filters.

 

Bottom line? Well, I've found a location in my coach 4' away from the inside antenna, where the Max Amp does provide great improvements of speed in a weak signal area. So this makes me a happy camper:)!

 

I will have time Wed, to do one more series two more groups of testing, with the phone sitting 8-9' away from the Inside Antenna, where I had wanted to be able to keep my Samsung S6 next to me not traveling. (Sorry I could not do this today in the same timeframe as the other groups, to compare the 4' to the 12-14' in comparison to the 8-9' locations. Again, no problem with it being at the 4' location, and the key is seeing those great improvements in download speeds:)!

 

Best to all,

Smitty

Got 10 minutes to run a Group 5 test with the Samsung S6 sitting on the dining table. This is 7-8' away from the Inside Antenna, but it is also 5' further separated towards the drivers side of the coach, which allows a better angle to the Omni Antennas downward cone signal sending antenna. (My Group 1 testing at 4' from this antenna, was less then 1' from directly below the Inside Antenna, so good chance it was 'inside' of the radiating downward cone, not as ideal for signal pickup.)

 

Group 5 is the best download speeds yet, same server, but with over two hours of time separation, so who knows how traffic is compared to earlier in the day...

 

May make this my location for the phone, as it is plugged in and powered up.

I am concerned there are some inconsistanties with that antenna. They seem to work ok but . Working on designing new omni directional panel for ceiling use for the future that will perform much better.All takes time and money

Just spoke to my head head engineer. Under the new FCC rules you will not see a drastic change in bars as long as you are getting signal . Only when the signal is really weak will you see that. The new amplifiers were designed to keep you connected . Bars are a feel good . The key is an optimal signal . A optimal signal is not necessarily a full signal., With new amplifier optimal performance occurs when you are not right next to the interior antenna but a bit away from it . That is how the carriers want it . They are the ones calling all the shots now and the FCC is doing their dirty work.

I just received a replacement indoor antenna and have spent the past couple of hours testing the system. I've now come to realize that the above-cited quote from Gord is more important than I had thought.

 

Since I had a brand new antenna I started with the premise that the system HAD to be functioning. With that in mind I started measuring signal strength and download/upload speeds all over the coach. I'm parked in a area where the Verizon signal strength (RSRP) ranges between -100dBm and -103dBm but the download speeds are consistently >35 Mbps with some measured speeds >50 Mbps.

 

Although I had expected that the amplifier would increase signal amplitude somewhat, I think the the reason I'm not seeing much, if any, improvement is that the RSRQ is a very steady -7dB which, I now understand, is a very good value and indicates high signal quality.

 

As a result, my first reaction after installing the new antenna is that nothing had changed. But, since I was working from the assumption that the system had to be working I started taking measurements all around the MH. Sure enough, if I brought the phone within ~6" of the antenna I could see dramatic increases in signal strength, up to ~-71dBm with an RSRQ of -5 dB (I think the best possible value is -4dB). So this proved that the system is doing it's job and is amplifying the signal.

 

But what I found interesting is that the phone's performance, when held in that high signal area, was measurably worse than what it was throughout the rest of the MH. That's clearly a near-field area of the antenna and some strange things are happening there. Download speeds were still quite high (28-37 Mbps) but they immediately bounced back to 45-53 Mbps when the phone was separated from the antenna by a few feet. Upload speeds near the antenna were 1.5-2.5 Mbps but returned to 4.5-5.5 Mbps once the phone was taken away from the antenna.

 

I'm not a good enough electrical engineer to explain these near field/far field effects, but my key point is that you really have to be careful when you try to evaluate what this system is doing. As Gord wrote, if you're in a good signal area you may not notice much of an effect. Since I have such a good signal at the moment, it's difficult for me to see the full advantages of Gord's system. I guess I'll have to wait until we go somewhere else before I'll be able to full appreciate.

Smitty, are you using SignalCheck Pro? If so, what kind of RSSI readings are you getting on 1XRTT with and without the amp? I've always found RSRP readings to be somewhat subjective, and RSSI more reliable for determining what kind of signal your really getting from the tower.

It should look something like this:

I'll take a look again next time I'm in a marginal coverage area. Now in Racine, WI, and saw download speeds of just under 50 from without the amp. Talk about mega streaming speeds:)!

 

We're working our way into North Dakota over the next week or two, with a few BLM sites on the way. Should be off the major interstates enough to provide a weaker signal... (Though to be honest, I would not care if took me a month to have a good place to test again:)!)

 

How about everyone else? Doc/Joel, Dutch, Jack - anyone have more info to share:)!

Smitty:

 

I have to admit that where I am I can't really prove that the amp is doing anything for me at all. I'm on an LTE AWS tower with a signal strength of ~99dBm without the amp. With the amp plugged in I see no statistically significant difference with Signal Check Pro or any other app I've tried (at distances of a 3-6 feet from the indoor antenna). However, if I bring the phone up close to the antenna (<1 foot) there is definitely a large increase in signal strength of 15-20 dBm.

 

From what Gord has explained to me and from what I've read, these new amps are smart enough not to provide more amplification than is needed. Considering that the S/N ratio is excellent and the speeds of this tower range from 30-65 Mbps (yes, you read that right) all I can figure is that the amp "knows" that it doesn't have to do anything to improve the signal. Does anyone have a suggestion of a way to test things that I may have overlooked?

That is my kind of review!!! That, I can fully understand and exactly the information I am looking for!!!

I posted my current MaxAmp experiences earlier today in another thread, but for completeness, I'll repost the pertinent parts here:

 

We've now been through a number of areas where we've previously had no signal or a very unreliable signal for both voice and data even using an external antenna, and have had no loss of signal with good data speeds with the MaxAmp. The MaxAmp is giving us a good signal throughout our coach and even extends it out to our patio area under the awning. I can't post meaningful speed comparison numbers, although we have checked from time to time, because most of the time, when we switched the MaxAmp off in those areas, we would get either no signal, or 1X or 3G data only, compared to a 4G signal with it on. We did learn early on that "bars" on the phone or MiFi display are relatively meaningless, with the signal quality and data speeds being the better units of measure. In every no or low signal area where we've checked, our RSSI numbers and data speeds have been well within acceptable levels using the MaxAmp, and pretty much unchanged in moderate to strong signal areas as it should be under the current FCC rules.

I am so happy the product is performing up to expectations. I have a tough road ahead of me . They are so many out there that are brainwashed by the Lies of Wilson/Weboost. In the good news department I should finally be getting the proper working Cigarette lighter adapters . Also the FCC has come up with even more new tests to make sure the amplifiers do not interfere with networks . We were the first tested and passed with flying colors . I am told by some good sources no on else has even come close to passing . The FCC moves slow but they do move . I am going to be posting the details of the new test purpose and the testing details as soon as my engineers forward it to me . They are trying to simplify so we can all understand it. I know many here still doubt my sources . But in the past everything I have spoken of has come to fruition the government moves slow but it does move.

I'm new here, just registered, but i've been following this a fair amount. I've privately Facebooked Maximum Signal (and probably Gord is who is answering me). Living in Idaho, we either have signal that is great, or signal that isn't so great and in a lot of cases while we travel, we're down to 1x or a faint 3G. I like listening to Pandora / Spotify in the RV and of course, that takes a decent signal. I know I can listen offline and maybe download some stuff, but I just don't. I like the mindless streaming, similar to Sirius/XM, without the fees. I like the idea that this is somewhat "future proofed". The Wilson/WeBoost 4G-X (I think), will only go between 18" and 3ft. That's just plain dumb. Maybe their technology isn't up to what this is yet, but it just tells me that they will have to come out with another iteration of booster for you to buy in to, for yet more money. This one seems simple, to the point, with good results from what I'm reading so far. The R&D alone had to be huge so $650 I think is a fair price. I'll be ordering mine next week when I know the 12V adapter is in.
