Unlike its counter-part from Wilson Electronics this dual band Call Capture (supports GSM, PCP, and CDMA frequencies) amplifier will distinctively give you an edge in reception capabilities without drilling into your wallet or checkbook like most Wilson products usually do. I personally was able to test the Call Capture In-Vehicle Cellular Signal Enhancer for the past week. My service carrier is T-Mobile and I have a Motorola Razr V3 black edition cellular phone that provides me with constant receptive problems when driving through certain black spots near where I do my daily stuff. I especially have amazingly disappointing reception in or near my house, which I have accurately named the black hole of communications. Hey maybe I dropped my Razr too many times and should have gotten a protective case earlier, but I did not really have such a receptive problems until I moved of recent. My home ladies and gentlemen is an area where my network drops me without any warning and I am starting to personally love conversations where I only hear certain portions of it and the rest gets muffled into nothingness. Yes that’s always fun! But if you think the Verizon Wireless network CDMA gods will counteract any reception difficulties and trek up my personal hill day in and day out then you must be kidding yourselves. My fiancé has had Verizon for the past 3 years and yes her network has been absolutely great, but she even drops calls frequently there. I guess I cannot complain that much. I get to see an amazing show of defying acrobatics from a Verizon customer finally experiencing reception problems, while simultaneously trying to get reception at an unreachable area called the black hole.

The Call Capture cellular amplification device can be distinctly identified with its colorful blue and neon yellow looking box and comes in an amazingly compact and sturdy looking package. Yes folks the Call Capture amplifier-packaging dose not look cheap! In the box the first thing that you see is the compact black metallic 1”(L) x 3”(H) X 6.3” (W) amplifier snugly packed. You can choose to fasten or not to fasten the amplifier but it may move around when driving around in your car if you choose not to fasten it. You can place the Call Capture In-Vehicle Cellular Signal Enhancer in a suitable place according to your own preferences at most 3 to 4 feet from the 12v socket. Within the Call Capture box you will come across three sealed packets. In the first packet you will also come across a 12v adapter that plugs directly into your cigarette socket, while the other end plugs into the amp itself. I patched the cord from the 12v socket in the middle of my car down to the amplifier so that the cord is as indistinct as possible. The second packet contains a powerful magnetic antenna with an attached cord that is meant to travel from the amplifier in your car to the center/corner portion on the trunk end of your car. Make sure that you have a solid magnetic connection to the trunk of your car and that you are not experiencing much wind factor where you have placed the antenna. Slip the antenna cord from the antenna itself on top of the trunk to the amplifier within your car. Try patching the cord through your trunk down to the floor of your backseat, to the amplifier itself. The 3^rd and final sealed package contains an internal patch antenna, which is adhesively attached closest to upper right hand corner on the passenger side of the car. This internal antenna directly connects to the Call Capture amplifier itself.  Make sure that the led light on the 12v adapter is lit as you start your vehicle to indicate that device is active and working and you’re good to go. The final items in the box includes registration information, a manual and installation directions.
