2.1 About
The Amplifier greatly improves signal strength when using your portable
AMPS phone inside the car. The signal is received by the outside antenna
from the cell site. It is then AMPLIFIED/REPEATED and then transmitted to
your AMPS phone through the inside antenna. When the phone transmits it is
received by the inside antenna. It is then AMPLIFIED/REPEATED and then
transmitted to the cell site through the outside antenna.
