Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Cellular signal boosters and the rules
Permalink  

After ordering a cellular signal booster, I downloaded the manual for it and started reading. That's when I learned about registering the booster with my carrier. I followed the link in the PDF manual to the specific Verizon web page and read that Verizon "would like" (same language used in the manual) customers to register their booster with Verizon AND notify them whenever the booster is moved. The Verizon page did not use the word "require." Since registering the booster doesn't seem to be an FCC requirement (correct me if I'm wrong), how many of you who have one registered it with your carrier? As full-time RVers who use the wheels on their RV for moving it (rather than sitting in one place), notifying VW each time we move would be a bigger PITA than giving Dish a new ZIP code to get local TV stations! I would love to hear any and all points of view on this topic, please.

Rob

 Should have been a Label on the devise advising of all this. It is required but very loosely enforced at this time. As long as your amplifier passes all the new regulations you are fine . The FCC is implementing new testing procedures and retesting every unit on the market so lots of current products on the market could go away. SureCall has already had two licenses revoked.
