 ·HughesNet Satellit..
| [General] EVDO so close.
Here's my situation:
I live in an area where I can only get 1xRTT on my phone, but If I go about 3 to 4 miles down the road, I can get EVDO in a neighboring area. The area I can get EVDO is in a somewhat lower elevation than my own, and is separated from me by a slightly higher elevation and trees. Basically I have no line-of-sight to the EVDO area.
Sometimes, my phone will get a EVDO signal for a quick second (it will flash on the screen), but leaves after about 10 seconds. I can't lock on to a EVDO signal, but my 1X reception is great.
I currently have Satellite (HughesNet), and although I'll be getting DSL in September, I would like to use EVDO, if I can do it on the cheap. (Say no more than $200 on data-card & other equipment).
Any hope for me? Is this possible?

Buffalo, NY | Lots of hope , A good omni directional antenna and amplifier will get the job done if you are occasionally getting evdo on your phone at the location in question

Benton, PA | I can find antennas ranging from $30-$70, but all the amplifiers I've seen start around $300, way to much for a short-term solution. |
