Cell Tower Location Help

I am currently in a situation where my MOFI will kick me from one tower to another from time to time. I will have new directional antennas soon but would like to know for a fact the exact locations of the towers I am connecting to. In trying to lookup locations using the cell ID, the only thing I ha...

Re: MOFI4500 Yagi antenna signal help

I’ll tell you what....is there anyway you could send me your phone number via my email address so I can just give you a call and we can work it out? Thanks in advance.

Re: MOFI4500 Yagi antenna signal help

What would you take for the 20ft strands of LMR N to SMA with a poxicast? That setup would get me through until I can afford to build my tower with some sort of POE CAT6 setup. My plan is to eventually have no more that setup but can’t afford it right now. I’ll be teaching summer school online all s...

Re: MOFI4500 Yagi antenna signal help

For fun you could try just one Wilson to the main and paddle on diversity. Don't know why but at times this helped when mine was mismatched. But might been a fluke.[/color] My antenna story= I have T-mobile service in rural area with trees and such just under 5 miles away. Started off with mimo pro...

Re: AT&T Band 2 missing? Anyone else see this?

My carrier seems to have dropped band 5. I was using 5 and 2 and getting speeds constantly in the thirties. I can still read a signal from band 5 but next to it says (no service) I haven’t been able to get band 5 on my phone either. I have heard of users getting banned and wondered if I had somehow ...

Re: MOFI4500 Yagi antenna signal help

Thanks for all the info! Would love to hear from anyone else as well. Any idea why band 5 keeps dropping off the face of the earth from time to time? Any experience with this issue?

Re: MOFI4500 Yagi antenna signal help

I am hesitant to jump out and spend another couple hundred on two new Yagis and LMR400 cables with adapters and lightning protection given I don’t and can’t get line of sight to the tower living in all these trees. Also, if a directional is fine, would a parabolic antenna or two work even better? Or...

Re: MOFI4500 Yagi antenna signal help

First off, thank you so much for the reply. I had typed all of my information out in the first version of my post in painful detail it cleared and asked for a login 🥴 so here is what I have and I fully acknowledge what is not to like about it lol. MOFI is a SIM4 X2 Wilson 10.5 gain Yagi 75ohm 30ft o...

MOFI4500 Yagi antenna signal help

I have a MOFI4500 with paddle antennas. When I hook up my external Yagi antennas and dial in to the surrounding towers, I can’t seem to get better signal. I’m -109dbm with the paddles and -121 with the yagis. I don’t have line of sight and am surrounded by 90ft pine trees. 2, 5, and 8 miles from the...
