I think asking for 3 dB down at 120 degrees in dual pol with matching patterns, 
good F/B and good sidelobes is not going to happen.  I’d plan on ABAB and look 
for a 90 degree sector.

Hmmmm, the published patterns for the KPP “Gen III” are kind of ugly, aren’t 
they?  Plus the HPOL and VPOL azimuth patterns don’t match very well.

I thought the KP sectors were suppose to be -3db at 120... I think almost 
everything is rated at -6db now.

  The new 120 is the old 90....search for something advertised as wider than 
120 I guess?

    What I'm looking for is a 120° sector that drops off no more than 3db at 
the edges.  The 6 db bull that seems to be common these days is not what I'm 
looking for.

    Also want good F/B ratio, good cross-pol performance, and tiny side lobes. 
In perfect world, it would drop off 30db at 121°.

    I want a pony too.

      Good drop off is a good thing IMO. 

      If you want less drop off probably go with an original Airmax sector.  
Those things bleed for days and the f/b isn't very good.  We installed half a 
dozen people 180* off one of them.

We're using a KP on one of our POPs and the drop-off at the edge of the 120° is 
just too much for our taste.
