 YX230 Cell Phone BoosterDec 04, 2008
By Robert J. Hogan Jr.
"Robert Hogan"
This item is giving me an additional 2 to 3 bars more signal which I think is very respectable. I live in a very rural area where cell phone signal can be very spotty. The booster certainly helped.

 This worked for me.Sep 30, 2009
By T 5 Alive
I had this product installed in my car. I travel through a area where I always loose my connection. I can not get any coverage for about 50 miles. This cut that loss to about 25 miles. I did not get the entire area but it was better than what I had before.

I drive in a large metro area and in the past always dropped calls in certain area's. With the YX230, the dropped calls have gone down in those area's. Solid product

 A Total Waste of Time and Money!Jul 22, 2010
By Mr. Kody L. Nance
For me this was a total waste. You have to run the wire of the antennas perfectly in order to get a green light. Turning it on and off like the manual said with the phone next to the internal antenna gave me nothing. It might be different for others but in my case this was a waste of $150 bucks.
Nice little booster...Works as advertisedFeb 03, 2011
By Jason Anderson

Our company purchased this product to help boost our current signal. We work in parts of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. The first time we installed this product we could not get the red light to turn green. The instructions did not come inside the package. I emailed Wi-Ex Tech support and they said to make sure the external antenna is on top of the vehicle and the amplifier at a different level. Come to find out, I had to go to the wi-ex website and print off the User Guide. In the user guide it says to turn off all cell phones before you power the unit on. I turned off my cell phone, turned on the booster, and the light turned green!
It does what it says, by "boosting" an existing signal inside your vehicle. If you don't have any signal, then 9 times out of 10 you wont see an increase in cell coverage. I had 2 bars before this booster, now I have 4. So I am happy that it works. I just didn't like the unit not coming with clear instructions on turning you cell phone off first! Now I have to descreetly tuck all these wires away so I don't have wires everywhere.
Hopefully this can be helpful for anyone looking at buying this product.
