• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Is anyone out there using an amplifier in conjunction with their Wilson Cellular antenna? Despite having Cingular, which has pretty good coverage over OK and KS, the last 3 times I've been out chasing I ended up in an area where my phone didn't work. Since WxWorx is too spendy for me, I've gotta rely on cellular internet for my data, and it'd be nice to have access to that whenever it was needed.

Their web site has more information.
 
Yes, I use both the Wilson Trucker model cell antenna and a 3 watt Wilson amp. I consider both among the best investments I ever made. I actually use mine in a static position, from my home.

Prior to buying the antenna and amp, I had no signal at all here at my home, because I live a good amount of distance to the nearest cell site and the terrain is pretty bad as well. By adding the antenna alone, my signal was boosted to about 1 or 2 bars. Then when I hooked up the amp, it varied between 3 and a full 4 bars. Since getting this, I've never had a dropped call that was on my end. Amazing difference. It's like having the power of the old analog 3 watt bag phones again.

Whenever I can afford to do so, I'd like to add another one of these to my primary vehicle as well. They are great.
 
I have used the Wilson cell phone amp for 2 years...and it DOES seem to make a difference in reception. We were able to connect in the Yuma County CO black hole with it last year. One note: buy an extra cable that runs from your phone to the amp...it is pretty light-gauge and last year a wayward foot pulled the connector off when my partner was exiting the vehicle! :angry: -Dave
