I have a Clear hub express w/120' of cable and a 8dbi omni directional antenna. Clear transmitting tower is about 1.5 miles away (not line of sight). Is there any way to improve my reception from that Clear tower ?

If you mean 120ft of antenna cable that may lose more than the 8dbi antenna gains. Take the unit outside on a dry day and connect the antenna directly to the hub and put the whole thing on the roof if possible.

WiMax the vendor will have to have a special unit for clear. One company that makes units like this ...not sure about clear though is called bandrich
