Product Description

The YX026-CEL is an optional upgrade signal (outdoor) antenna for the YX500-CEL which replaces the omni-directional signal antenna with a higher gain directional antenna. This 12 element yagi antenna is used in weak signal areas to improve received signal and/or provide a larger area of improved indoor coverage. This antenna provides 11dBi of gain to strengthen the signal. All hardware is included to mount on masts up to 1 5/8” diameter. The YX699 is a perfect complement in setting the direction of the YX026 antenna.

This thing made ALL the difference!! 0-1 bars at my home, now 4-5!! Just for kicks during the install of my zboost I tried to use the antenna that came in the package, no real luck, if you have poor signal outside of your house you NEED the Yagi!! Take the time and set this thing up right, find some tips and tricks on Google. If you have a BlackBerry, try this: click on settings, then click on Options and finally click on Status. There should be a signal strength there displayed in a negative number. Mine right now as I sit here is -85 (about 4 bars) the lower the number the stronger the signal. This can help you during install set your phone about 5 feet from your zboost as you point your antenna. Also be sure and mount your Yagi on a pole, that way you can "tweek" the direction it is pointed...I used an old Satellite dish, took the dish off and used the mount, bolted it to the side of the house and BAM, good to go!

Being a Ham Radio Operator and in electronics repair for a major air carrier for 30 years I know the benefits of a good antenna. This HyGain Antenna coupled with my Zboost Cell Phone Booster made all the difference in good reception and great reception and at the right price.
