To my great surprise once we got it set up we drove about 30 miles to a known dead zone (in a suburban area, no less) and bingo, we had flawless reception

TI regularly go through a dead-zone on my daily travels

Because I'm also looking for out-of-the way rural or wilderness areas, I'm often lost in a nest of dead zones and that can be very frustrating

At least I thought it was a dead zone

it may work in some places but in a 'semi-dead zone' it doesn't do anything

Run a regular route that puts me through a forty-five minute dead zone each way

If you expect it to perform miracles in the dead zones of back country roads, you'll likely be disappointed
