Anyone with experience regarding cell phone signal boosters? They
range from the joke printed circuit stickers which are pasted to the

Any brands to avoid? Anyone other than the Holland Michigan guy ever
get brain cancer from one of these things?

It has to be a non direct connect unit, as the phone has no removable
antenna. Are there still 'bag phones' available? They were pretty
powerful if memory serves.

Any insights, or circuitry for a home brew unit would be appreciated.

Just a FYI, GSM is limited by timing, not signal strength. I don't
know about CDMA.

Bag phones are analog. Lotsa luck finding service.

Cell phones are great if the coverage is decent enough. But, it
depends on the individual provider. And yes,people do get killed while
driving and talking and especially 'texting', all the time.Very
sad,but true...

Latest is Drivers Looking at their iPhone Screens
?GPS? while Driving; saw one today and wondered
what he was doing with something in his right-hand
in front of his face just over the steering-wheel.
Luck for him the Stop Sign was for the Cross Traffic
and he managed to keep it centered in the TH Arch
but slightly on the white-line.
