Improved Cell signal

[Wes Hand]

I have recently purchased a paddle antenna from Spartan Camera and it has made a difference. I have bought various after market antennas but with this one I have consistently seen a minimum of 5-10 dbm decrease. I have seen it go from red (no signal) to 75-90 dbm with this antenna. Yes its a little bulky but Id rather be getting corrections than not. If any of you have found others that work for you please share.

Wes, would this help on the LS as well as the T3? I'm running a static IP at the base (T3) and using cell to the LS+ instead of UHF

Yes I have one at the base and one on the rover. You don't have to use these when you have good cell coverage but when its in a bad area I definitely have them on both devices....and it does help.

I use this GSM antenna. I have found it gives about 10dB more signal than the orange one that came with the LS+. It costs only $6. It fits tighter to the LS - less likely to hook on something- and seems a little more sturdy. With the UHF antenna also installed, it fits at an angle (not quite vertical), but that doesn't seem to affect the performance.

Interesting that the description refers to this antenna as onnidriectional. So you don't need to point the antenna?

Not sure if that means for reception or that the antenna rotates and bends 90 degrees. Once tightened you can spin it out of the way.
