Using the Antenna Position Test
The Wave app comes with an Antenna Position Test that can
help you achieve the ideal balance between isolation and
signal quality.
1.
Make sure that your indoor antenna(s) are located
approximately where they will be installed.
2.
In the Wave app, go to the "Settings" tab, and under the
"Antenna Settings" tab select the "Antenna Position Test"
option.
3.
The app will guide you through taking multiple
measurements. Try both different antenna locations and
directions. Consider isolation and signal quality when
choosing antenna locations.
4.
The higher the number, the better your signal will be.
5.
Once you're done, the Wave app will calculate the best
location for your outdoor antenna.
If you're having issues finding the best antenna location, don't
hesitate to contact our support team. We'll gladly walk you
through finding the best location for best results.

The "Advanced" Tab
One of the best features of the GO X is that it actively listens and decodes the cellular
signals before amplifying. You can find out more about the signal the booster is seeing in
the "Advanced" tab.
The "Send Log" button allows you send a diagnostic log from
your device to either the RepeaterStore or Cel-Fi support
teams.
This area shows the bands currently being amplified. When the
device is scanning, the frequencies will change.
The "Super Channels" section lists the two bands being
amplified. Select a band to expand the details (as shown).
The "Donor RSSI" value shows the signal strength being
received from the outdoor antenna.
The "Donor SINR" is a measure of signal quality. Ideally, you
want a number higher than 5 dB here. The higher the SINR, the
more bars you'll see. Aiming the antenna better towards the
tower, or trying other locations can increase this number.
The "Downlink TX Power" shows how much signal is being
rebroadcast. The bigger this number, the greater the coverage
area.
The Uplink and Downlink System Gain show the current
uplink and downlink amplification of the system. Uplink may
sometimes show 0 dB when phones aren't in use. That's
normal.
The "Echo Gain" numbers show how much isolation you have
between the outdoor and indoor antennas. If either number is
at or near 10 dB, you need more isolation between antennas.
