I keep seeing adverts for these passive repeater antenna for hand held/portable cellular phones. Has anyone tried one of these, and if so do they have any effect, or are they just a gimmick? I live in Central Connecticut and my handheld is with Linx (B carrier). I get pretty good coverage and can usually make a call from inside the car without even extending the attenna. However, there are a few areas where I am marginal. If those passive antennas result in a measurable improvement, then I'd consider getting one. Seng-Poh Lee splee@gnu.ai.mit.edu
