800mhz booster...

Can anybody clue me in on how this thing works? Would it work for a 800mhz TRS? How about conventional VHF or UHF? Anybody have one? Thanks in advance!

Extremely NOT reccomended.

This would have the effect of overwelming your 800Mhz reception and swamping
your receiver whenever you get near a cell site or any tower site with 800Mhz
transmitters. Simply getting a better antenna would help your 800Mhz receive
capability much better. A receive preamp should always be your last resort.

Rog that- kinda what I was thinking to. I'm thinking of throwing one of these in my work truck though for improved cell coverage. I wouldn't think it would mess with VHF conventional right?

Many of these Boosters are now banned by the FCC
http://www.fcc.gov/document/use-and-design-signal-boosters-report-and-order

Only the ones issues/registered by the Carrier are allowed.

Call your Carrier and complain about the coverage. You will need an internet connect to use a Legit one.
