Are there any devices out there that will successfully improve my signal? Would using a different radio have any effect on it? Input is appreciated

You can get an AIRAVE or whatever they call the new ones that work with 3G data. You'll probably have to say it's for home use though. You'll need a free network port and a location close enough to a window so it can pull a GPS signal. They can use cell towers for the location if the signal is strong enough (at least the older version that I have does). Usually when you tell them your signal is bad, they usually will give you a credit for the $5/mo charge. I haven't paid for mine since I've had it (did have to call and have them re-new the credit for another 2 yrs.).
