I am thinking about adding a cell phone amplifier to our boat as many areas have a weak signal that often drops. This was very frustrating Sat night when we were trying to communicate with our dog/house sitter. With a booster I could likely be able to get a call out?
My questions is one I can't seem to find a solid answer to. Can I use my VHF antenna with a cell phone or a cell phone booster? I know they operate on different frequencies but is it possible to get "some" gain from utilizing my VHF antenna 60 feet off the water?
It seems all these systems require a dedicated cell antenna, which makes sense, but would they work at all with a VHF antenna? I have a Metz antenna now... Considering a Wilson amplifier..
Not being a Ham or radio type guy I know enough to be dangerous but don't know if a VHF won't work at all or will work slightly better and no antenna at all..?..
