In Response To: Re: Any stewards with satellite phone experience? (Chiles)

I agree with Dave K about the stand alone cell antenna & amp. Normally with my cell phone I loose coverage somewhere between 8 and 12 miles off the beach. Simply by adding a high db 4' cell antenna I now normally have coverage at 20 mile. Digital Antenna claims that by adding their amp my coverage should go to around 50 mile. A friend of mine uses this setup on his scallop boat and claims to have fantastic reception at 45 miles. Since we fish out of OCMD we are rarely more that 50 or 55 of the beach. The Amp runs 225.00 and the antenna runs 160.00, however you don't need to pay the monthly fee.
