WINTENNA 652 booster antenna – does it work?”
Basically what the booster antenna does is improve reception of the base unit – but it doesn’t increase the power going out of the phone, which is what the handheld unit depends on to hear what’s going on – If for some reason, you have your base station in a bad location, let’s say near concrete walls and you can’t move it, this might help, but if you can, it would be easier to move your unit away from walls and as high up as possible in the building you’re in – there are two better solutions – depending on your phone, you might be able to use multiple base units, that is, have two or more base units plugged into the telephone outlets at different places in the building you’re using the phone – or you may be able to get a repeater unit that takes the signals coming from the handheld phone and the base unit and strengthens them both, acting like a bridge. Say you have your base unit at the north side of your building, then you would put the repeater on the south side to extend the range
