As I mentioned in another thread I purchased a Bluespot antenna last week so I thought Id post some details up of it as they appear to be a relative new comer to the antenna market. The Box contains a handy little guide that is well written and gives a router compatibility list
First impressions are it seems to be a well built unit about the size of shoe box, the 5m length Coax cables seem to quite thick would would generally mean good quality I'd have thought so less loss than cheaper antennas. Also comes with TS9/Sma adapters so all bases are covered there. The cables are about equal in diameter to that of a small omni-280 poynting antenna that I own which is a good sign.
Easy enough the antenna up itself too with just a set of small screws on the back next to the wall mounting bracket (which is also supplied in the box), though a pole mounting is available separately.
Not sure what IP rating it gets as there is no rubber seal around the casing though maybe it doesnt need that, I'm sure it'll deal with outside conditions easily.
As promised here are the pictures:
I might have to wait to put this up as with a new mast going up locally within a few weeks I dont want to finalize its positioning yet however I might do some heath robinson style testing as I know what I'm like! Im hoping it brings me some benefit - at the moment I'm using a Panorama DMM-7-38 which isnt bad but the coax quality could be better.
