[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3355234, member: 29706"] My best guess is that a cabin for hunting likely doesn't have land lines running to it let alone in a place where internet is capable. What matters with the boosters is which network you are on, they are often setup to only work with certain frequencies. The ones that do handle them all so to speak cost more.

The outdoor antenna's are directional so the better it is aimed the better the signal will end up being.
