KodiakJack Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 The impedance for the Sleek is 50 ohm. So you will need coaxial cable to match, i.e. RG58 or a low loss type like LMR400 sold by the 3gstore.com Later, J 2012 Landmark, San Antonio 2013 Silverado CC, 3500HD, Duramax, DRW, 4x4 Backup, side and hitch cameras, Tireminder TPMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike and Claudia Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 "How to tell the signal strength of an iPhone:" Ever find yourself questioning how accurate those little signal strength dots are on your iPhone? Luckily, there's a trick to reveal your iPhone's true signal strength, and it takes less than a minute to enable. First, you'll need to access a hidden app on your phone called Field Test Mode. To do this, you'll need to open up your Phone app and dial the following number, *3001#12345#* , including the asterisks and hashtag, and tap "Call." This opens up Field Test Mode, which is mostly filled with menus of cell signal jargon that you don't need to worry about. What you're interested in is the tiny number in the upper left-hand corner of your iPhone, which should have replaced those cell signal dots.

Biker56 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 On my iPhone 6 Plus. Sprint LTE is a -102 with 3 bars out of 5. That is what I get most of the time at my winter spot. I can go outside and walk 1/10 mile E-W-N-S and sometimes it will change to a 3G then back to LTE. So guess I am on the edge here for LTE Full Time since Oct. 199999 Discovery 34Q DP | ISBDatastorm | VMSpc | Co-Pilot Live | Pressure Pro2014 MKS Twin Turbo V6 365 HP Toad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker56 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I just finished installing a Wilson 4G booster with a square antenna on the batwing brace near the bottom. Went from a -102 to a -91 and from 3 bars to 4. Was hoping for a better gain.

GR "Scott" Cundiff Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I tried the yagi antenna - did my best to give it a fair test while at the same time not doing anything that would make it hard to return. It gave me a little signal gain, from around -80 to -69. I decided it wasn't enough to make it worth hauling it around the country for occasional use so I returned it.
