Re: Vogue On My Boat

I just got off the phone with Wilson Tech Support and this is what they told me.

1)The Sleek will have NO issues related to antenna separation and feedback/oscillation.

2)Their other, more powerful repeater/cradle(801213) requires a minimum of 12-15 feet separation.

3)Their externally mounted marine cellular antenna will provide the necessary ground-plane.

4)The Sleek will provide 20db of gain versus 45 db of gain on the 213.

Finally, I was told that elevating the antenna (such as on a pole) will help improve performance but is unnecessary as regards to separation.

With this in mind it's advisable to get a long enough coaxial cable to accommodate an elevated antenna should it be needed.
Adapter # 97119 is required to connect the Sleek to the coax.
