it's feast or famine. We have a couple of POPs where we need 30° sectors, but on small POPs, the 120° would be ideal, because there will only be one, or maybe two. bp On 2/17/2015 11:08 AM, Josh Reynolds wrote: I wish I could help. We actually put way more sectors out than that at most site

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. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 133
