We installed a small repeater system on our new fire station and are
not getting the coverage we expected at all. Our antenna sits about
27m up on top of the building. The repeater is a 50watt VHF w/
duplexer. I believe it's the old coax we are using, which I think is
about 15 yrs old and may have been hit by lighting in the past. If
anyone can help us out it would be great!! I have many questions but
for now,,, what type of coax should we get if this needs to be
replaced? What about a lighting arrestor, necessary? Would a rusty,
old tripod work fine or will it cause some kind of interference? and
with this height, about what kind of range can we except (we use
mostly 5watt portables). Thanks for the help!! We are trying to save
money in our small dept by troubleshooting it the best we can before
calling the pros lol.
Please e-mail me w/ your advice, or questions....
