The biggest problem is that testing the cable system in one area only gives you info from that area node to the active amps up to the point where you are connected. Any downstream amps won't show up. And there could be a LOT of nodes in a cable system. Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message

Depending on the frequency of the site, they might only be putting out 5 watts of transmit power. Rural sites run more power, and taller antennas to get better range. In a City, they just don't need or want huge amounts of power because it will prevent reuse of the frquencies or cause what's

The typical cell site is probably running a 10 watt amplifier with an ERP of about 100 watts. City sites probably a lot less power. Your in the high power paging transmitter class. Physical damage can be done in the nearby horizontal field of the antenna using this much power and antenna

I think your original post said that your antenna would be about 30-40 feet off the ground. Unfortunately, power cannot make up for a low antenna very well. You would need to get your antenna above the surrounding structures and foliage to have an effective system. If your house is on a

It sounds like you have a linear amplifier. Linear amplifiers are used when multiple low power transmitters are to be amplified by one amplifier. The peak power (actually peak envelope power) capability of the amplifier must be quite high in order to handle the multiple signals without generating
