Editorial Reviews: The YX029-PCS-CEL is a dual-band outdoor signal antenna system allows your Wi-Ex cell phone signal booster (YX510) to provide a larger area of improved indoor signal strength and improve indoor performance where weak outdoor cell signals exist. The antenna operates with signals in both the 800 MHz Cellular and the 1900 MHz PCS bands. The YX029-PCS-CEL dual-band antenna system consists of two antennas, a Yagi (beam type) antenna for Cellular, a Panel antenna for the PCS band. An antenna combiner is included to combine the signals from the two antennas onto one coax for connection to the Wi-Ex Base Unit. An 18¿ coaxial jumper is included to connect the Panel antenna to the Combiner. All hardware is included to mount on masts up to 1 5/8¿ diameter. The YX699 is a perfect complement in setting the direction of the YX029 antenna.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Wireless Extender YX510 Antenna Comment: This antenna greatly expanded the signal of the base unit but take care to follow all installation instructions exactly. Customer Rating: Summary: Works as advertised Comment: I don't often review products, but feel I must set the record straight on this one. It looks to me like the people bashing this product are confusing the role of the booster with that of the antenna. It works at my location where I am blocked by a ridge from having line-of-sight to the cell tower about 30 miles away. I'm using it with the Zboost YX510 which has a diagnostic mode to indicate input/output antenna isolation. I found that even though these antennas are directional, my first locations for the booster were getting interference. After shielding the area of the wall behind the outdoor antennas all is well. No interference indicated on the Zboost and it is boosting both bands as I expected. I only drop a star because it is not clear from the pictures or directions how to aim the yagi. I had best results by aiming the aluminum beam at the tower. The panel antenna is a bit more obvious. Customer Rating: Summary: Didn't work for me... Comment: I tried this twice (first with the stock antenna, then with the $150 upgraded one). 3 different install locations, in and out of the house. No matter what I did, I saw little to no improvement in signal. I really, really wanted this to work. I was hoping to dump my landline. It seems to be very dependent on your native signal strength, your antenna placement, and your proximity to a nearby tower. Some folks have had great success. I suppose that I'd recommend trying it, but keep the packaging in order and be prepared to exercise Amazon's wonderful return policy should it work for you as it did for me. Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointing! Weak signal. Comment: Disappointing! In my house 1 mile from Verizon cell tower I get 2 bars without zBoost. Installed zBoost YX500/510 CEL antennae on the roof. Three feet away from the base unit I get 4 bars. Five feet away, 3 bars. Ten feet away line of sight unobstructed view, 2 bars. Forget about covering the house. Customer Rating: Summary: Antennas = Great; zBoost Suckith Comment: I purchased the zBoost PCS 510 because I could not get more than 1-2 bars on the roof of my mountain home with a cell site 1 mile away. When the zBoost didn't work they recommended that I also buy the yagi and panel antenna. The zBoost still didn't work. Even worse, the technical support at Wi-Ex is almost non-existant. It is one guy answering emails and telephones are not answered or messages returned. As an extra class amateur radio operator I know a thing or two about radio. I purchased the antenna pigtail for my Treo 700wx and plugged it directly into the cable connected to the PCS panel antenna. 5 bars. No zBoost needed. So... the antennas are fine but avoid Wi-Ex. Since that time I have purchased a Wilson cellular repeater that worked immediately to give me 5 bars, but not reliably. It also did not give me 2500 square feet of coverage that actually means a 12 foot circle to these guys. Low and behold, Sprint came out with an Airave that gives me 6 bars of coverage anywhere in my home. You decide.
