FOR SALE: Zboost Datablast Verizon Cell/Data Booster

[Steve Polley]

Have for sale a Zboost Datablast Verizon/AWS cell booster. This is a wireless setup that works quite well. It is intended for home use but I made a cigarette lighter adapter for it to use in my chase vehicle. This has the higher boost that is no longer available with the new FCC regulations so these are no longer made and the newer boosters are are set at a lower power. Was used for 2 seasons and was purchased new for $250. Model number is YX550-VLTE-AWS

I am asking $150 plus shipping for the setup.

I'm curious, how much of a boost did you get out of this product? Were there areas that you would regularly have no service at all and received LTE with the setup, or was it more like an extra bar or two here and there?

I'm curious because my daughter used a similar booster in her house. Don't the two separate pieces of the booster have to be at least 15 feet away from each other? That's what I recollect from hers.

Worked quite well mobile. It would go for 1 bar to full when on...basically the rssi would go from around -100 (weak signal) to -60 (strong signal). There does have to be a minimum separation from the outside antenna but the 15' is exaggerated.

Here is the link to the owners manual of the booster you describe. It states that it needs "at least 15 feet of vertical separation". It's hard to get 15 feet of vertical separation in a vehicle. Not quite an exaggeration.

I may be interested if you still have this in the Spring Steve ... I sold you a GPS you might as well sell me something now. ;-)

I have to figure out my new dash cam that also plugs in to cig lighter first.
