My wife has poor reception between where we live and where she work and at work. Is it portable enough for her to take between her car/office?

I would say that it could be done but it would be a pain taking it in and out of the vehicle daily as well as it only has a vehicle power adapter - no 120V plug.

A fix mount unit is best, less problems and setup. I have two different style Wilson repeaters one Mobil (RV omni-directional) and one fixed (cabin - high gain Yagi antenna) separation, location and direction is important for best results.

I have taken mine out of the truck into our cabin. I have not mounted it permanently in the truck yet, but intend to in the future. I work in construction and this is not a big issue for me. I would not recommend this to be done on a daily basis by anyone. Keep in mind that this unit is 12V DC and I carry a battery booster pack in to the cabin also to power it. Not something that your wife would want to be toting into an office environment. Overall I do not know of any of these that are designed to be that portable. Hope that this helps. On another note, here in WV we have found out that it is best to buy the replacement 12" tall antenna and use it instead of the little 4" antenna that comes with the unit. All the world in difference.

I am getting excellent reception now in my car where I didn't have any. I have not had a dropped call on the road since I installed the antenna. I think it would be worth a try at work only if you could hook up to an outside antenna. You would also have to get a 12v adapter

No Once installed it stays in the car. You would have to get a second one designed for home

Yes..it's pretty portable and lightweight. Just unplug it and move it to the other room. Granted, after awhile it might get annoying....but I'm sure it wouldn't be that bad.

I use the Sony Bluetooth adapter where I work and can pretty much roam throughout the office space. I would say I can easily go 50 feet no problem, my place of work is an open office style so there are little walls to interfere. I do get some interference when the microwaves are run at lunch time but that's the only issue that I have.

We used it on the road with my laptop. I would suggest you talk to Verizon to see if the connection is compatible.

I think if you get the hd radio adapter it'll be able to accommodate for traffic, but I never encountered a need for it to do so. I do know that if you sit or go very slow like in a traffic jam or construction it'll give you an alternate route to get around it on it's own

I have good luck with people using their phones in my back seat which makes it about 3+ feet. Otherwise you could lay your phone closer and use a bluetooth headset such as the LG tone+ HBS-730. I've had great luck with that headset.

For sure. I live 40-60 miles from various towers in Detroit, Toledo and Lansing, and am in the woods. Mine is hanging indoors in my attic and I still get reception. I purchased based on feedback of reception strength at a distance.

I can travel just about anywhere in my house or yard and still receive signal. It does depend, however, on what obstacles are between headset and source, such as a floor to ceiling well filled bookcase.

Yes, it will allow your daughter who lives next door to have a good connection; be sure to aim the antenna in the right direction or your daughter will not get a strong signal; Important, this is a directional antenna; it must be aim in the right direction.This is NOT a bidirectional antenna, I repeat, ok? Any other technical question i will be happy to help you.

Depending on location you are driving, around city it will pick up good but going farther out or under bridges it will be cutting in and out. I would not recommend it. If you want little better reception stick it on a top corner of a windshield. It worked for me.

You can use the Ubiquiti Unifi outdoor AP for this. If you do not have clear line of site to the office you can also attach the outdoor unit to a Ubiquiti sectional antenna to enhance signal to the office.

I have the cable around the dash in a 04 Town Car. The way I have it set up, I do not have enough slack to make a call. But, in a smaller car, it may be enough.

This device needs to be within a few feet of the cell phone you are using. The Bluetooth radio in this thing doesn't reach farther than maybe 10 feet.

I live in an concrete apartment building on the 1st floor. I can go outside to the car, dumpster, and mailbox (100+ feet). Never had an issue with interference from my phone or any interference for that matter.

It's small enough. You have to have it plugged in to a/c outlet. If your wanting it to work while in your purse, then, no.

Depends where you live. In the city where they have loads of terrestrial repeaters, you'll probably get good reception. Anywhere else, and it's going to be spotty at best, that's why you can record content to the units - you're not going to get a live signal all the time. As far as portables go, they don't really make any anymore, but you can grab an Inno/Helix on eBay. They are the same unit and both are great. Or use the SiriusXM app, which admittedly isn't great, and listen through your smartphone. That's how they want you to listen, and the reason why they don't make portable units anymore.

No, this is portable for in house and garden with outlets. It truly is powerful and not a bluetooth brick that, soundwise, can't compare.
