Hello,
Background
During a week's stay at Stephen F. Austin State Park (about 50 miles west of Houston, Texas) in April 2017, I had such a strong signal available that I was able to work from inside our trailer supporting remote server installations. A few months later Hurricane Harvey hit and the park was closed yet again until March 2018. Recent repeated trips to park we've noticed that the signal will barely support random texting, much less working (or more important - game updates from my wife's perspective). It seems that since the storm, something has changed in the cellular infrastructure and that prompted the amplifier purchase last month.
Just completed a week with the MaxAmp RV system installed. Initially, I had 13' horizontal separation of the antennas with not much of an improvement. I had a blue light, so I thought that the distance was sufficient. I emailed Gord, and he suggested adding some distance, so I moved it to about 18' feet. Seems to be doing better, but I'd like to gain some actual signal strength measurements rather than using Ookla's Speedtest only for testing. Gord made some app suggestions for Android, but alas, I've swallowed the Apple pill...
Does anyone have a application recommendation for use with an iPhone?
