As close as I can figure the cradle boosts the signal strength in marginal areas about 7 to 10 percent. I tried it in an area that shows a 10% signal and with the cradle it shows 20%. It really helps the transmit because without at 10% it misses data occasionally but with the cradle it is a good usable signal. The cradle was $54.00.

Thanks

Thanks for the great review Rick. I share your opinion of the Sierra Wireless modems. I've had 3 Overdrives, 3 USB250s, and 3 Overdrive Pros in 2 years. All returned for a variety of reasons. I'm glad I've had Sprint insurance on them but it's still been a bit of inconvenience to return them each time. It sounds like they've improved the latest edition.

Would you be able to test the cradle to see if, when you're in a marginal area just on the edge of Wimax service (like me), it will boost your signal enough to get Wimax reception? What was the cost of the cradle?

Again, thanks for the great review.

Thanks Robert.
