Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The fact the antenna put 25w out and hit the repeater at that distance at all was quite pleasing. Most of them have auto test now in the equipment but in the old school days i had to manually test those big cell sites and it took time.



Cons

The antenna displays an antenna fail warning and will not work. There were no instructions on how to mount or put together the antenna mounting bracket. The feedline is nice however the coax easily pulls out of the crimped connector.
