Re: Band 71 antennas
I have a RigExpert AA-600 antenna analyzer. It runs R±jX curves from 0 to 600MHz standalone. I use it mostly for ham radio stuff. I found using the software and computer with it it will work up past 1000MHz. You can look up Moxon antenna. It's simply a 2 element folded element yagi to shorten the ...

Band 71 antennas
New here. Got a MoFi SIM7 locked to TMobile band 71. Got the MoFi and monthly service from wcminternet.com. So far so good but I've been playing with antennas.

Re: MoFi4500 sim 7 questions
Yes, I've been to cellmapper, that's how I discovered where my tower is from the enb number 59771. And it makes sense. I do notice things are changing even from last August. But cellmapper is also anecdotal evidence. I have to treat it with a pinch of salt. It's too bad the FCC doesn't make the ...

Re: MoFi sim7 takes forever to login
Under System/Manually flash firmware is 'Flash new firmware image' and there is a box for 'keep settings' So it looks like I have to download from the MoFi page and manually flash the image instead of auto update? I'll wait until the wife is gone in case it takes a while or I eff up. I did download ...
