I have one room at the back of my house that a cell phone just doesn't work in. If you take 2 steps outside of this room you can get enough signal for a call, but it breaks up and drops the call every couple of minutes. If you take 4 more steps down the hall, you get a fairly strong signal. My family would like to go strictly to our cell phones and stop paying for landlines that we almost never use.
So my question is this:
Would
this antenna work if we placed the antenna portion in the hallway where there's a good signal, and the receiver portion either inside the room or in the doorway to that room?
Another option would be to place the antenna portion outside of the house - the back door is about 3 feet outside that room - and the receiver in the doorway or inside that room.
If these options aren't likely to work, what would without spending much money?
