When will you use a Yagi antenna ?

[@SOILSISTA]

Would this work in. Shtf scenario for free wifi??

[@RFShop]

Don’t quite get what you are trying say or ask? Antennas’ main purpose is NOT to get free WiFi

[@SOILSISTA]

@@RFShop in a grid down scenario. Will this work for wifi? Will we be able to pull it out the air? Hope that clears it up a bit.

[@RFShop]

@@SOILSISTA it does. You still need some signal, unfortunately. You can't pluck WiFi from thin air (so to speak)

Hi awesome channel,.. am learning a lot,.. i live in an apartment block,.. floor 29 and there are 2 cell towers i can see below me from my balcony ,.. one 120 metres and the other approx 300 metres,.. but i still have big problems getting a 4g lte data signal,.. i would appreciate yor advice on how to overcome this issue,.. many thanks

[@RFShop]

The fact that you see the antennas below you is a bit of a concern :) Normally, the towers are setup such that the antennas face down a little bit...so the network operators are not really paying a lot of attention to the users higher than the tower (at least that would be my first guess). Best would be to get a decent directional antenna and face it towards the tower, but also drop it a bit so it faces "down" towards the tower.

Agreed, wish I went all in on one frequency, because I can only get 723mhz anyway, those far travelling bands. If someone is looking at getting an antenna they are likely far from towers so they will probably only get that 700mhz approx. band anyway, LPDA setups for someone close to cell towers or maybe people in caravans who can move around. But right at the edge of cell reception go yagi for sure.

Indeed...there's always a trade-off. Yagi has it's downside, but when you want the highest gain and there's only one option...go hard
