 Totally worksFeb 25, 2010
i was very skeptical about this product after reading some of the negative reviews. after trying a couple of different installations, this thing works awesome. my office is an old industrial building with a tin roof, att got barely 1 bar inside but full coverage outside. we initially tried installing the large antenna against the outer wall, with the repeater about 50ft away. this didn't work, the repeater's signal constantly interfered with the large antenna. then we installed the large antenna on the outside of the building, about 80 ft away. this was the trick, being on the outside, the signals never interfered and now we get full coverage inside the building.
totally worth the money!

 very irregularFeb 25, 2010
I tried this at our beach house for a week, on ATT, using an iPhone, windows candybar style phone with an antenna nub, and a dumbphone (plain featurephone). It didn't fix our issues (as a last resort, we've actually now switched to another carrier)
Some other reviewers aren't seeing the distinction between repeating signal from a strong location to a weak one, versus 'amplifying' an otherwise unacceptable signal. This device is only for 'moving' a strong signal (for me, on the roof) to another location (say inside the house where the signal is weak)
We are on a hill and at ground level had 'spotty' coverage inside and around the house. If you walked up the hill a little bit you could get more reliable coverage. At night coverage would actually sometimes be reliable, but during peak hours it was non existent (cell towers often prioritize stronger signals to minimize overall number of dropped calls).
This evidence led me to believe that at the ~roof level we should have several bars of signal. (I wasn't able to get up there and try it, though) Since we are on a hill, this made sense.
Nonetheless, it didn't seem to work well. It has three diagnostic lights that each have two or three colors. Them manual enumerates several pretty cryptic combinations that are supposed to tell you what's wrong.
Besides being unclear, the diagnostics would change very rapidly, say from 'antennas too close' to 'signal too strong' to 'signal too weak'.
As such, it never gave us a dependable signal, so I returned it.

Did not work - had to returnFeb 15, 2010
Extender did not work for ATT iPhone. Coverage weak in zip code 95050. This did not solve the problem.

YX-510Feb 15, 2010
Great Product. I previously had no cell reception inside my house and only 2 bars outside at best, if I was standing in the right spot in the yard. I installed my antena on a twenty feet tall PVC poll outside and hooked up the unit inside. I now have full service inside my house (five bars). I am very satisfied with this booster. I have eliminated my land line.

works as advertisedFeb 13, 2010
I have spotty cell coverage at my house and this unit with the antenna installed in the attic does improve the signal inside the house, especially if my phone is close to the base unit. Works for my verizon phone and tracfone.
