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 think almost everything is rated at -6db now.

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. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 2/17/2015 10:50 AM, Josh Luthman wrote: 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.
