    S-280 Shelter. How do I get Cellular/Radio Reception Inside?

    Have S-280 Shelter and cannot receive either cellular or radio signals once inside and door closed. There are several devices available commercially that are advertised to bring the signals inside, but have read most are so so at best. A friend spent over $500 on one model and he said it...

    I haven’t seen any at auction for quite some time now. Wanting another one and none to be found at auction. I know there are plenty for sale from individuals, but I prefer mine straight from Military. GP was selling them weekly and then they slowed to a trickle and now nothing. Anyone seen...
