For that price you can purchase a cell booster that stays off your network altogether and will help with any cell carrier in range.

If they use the 1pps clock from GPS to calibrate an oscillator before they start transmitting, then it would legitimately take 20-30 minutes. Telrad BTS's are like that too. Pisses me off if I ever have to reset the power. On 2/9/2016 12:12 AM, Jason McKemie wrote: For whatever reason, the receivers that they use in some of these don't seem to be "modern" at all.

My oneplus one will pick up 6 satellites while standing in a central hallway 15'+ from any window. Should be accurate enough to get a location within 75'. All bets are off if it is a concrete framed apartment building or something like that. I still find it amazing that anything works at -162 RSL. Thanks to tiny channel size and very basic modulation.
