Re: [Repeater-Builder] UHF Distance with 20 watts to Mobile, How Far

Thanks for the input here. I thought something was a bit strange for the distance. I'm thinking in the duplexer, but am going to have to hook the transmitter up and have someone a distance from the repeater hear the signal, almost bet it is there. As far as I can tell, the recieve side of the r

A simplied formula for use when both antennas (I know, antennae) are the same height, assuming a smooth earth's surface and assuming an earth's radius of 4000 miles, which is close when we take into consideration the "RF bending effect at UHF, " would be: 2.4 times the square root of th

Keep the roar down, but am trying to figure what one would expect the distance of a 440 repeater to be with 20 watts out, into a Diamond Antenna up 50' fed by 7/8" hardline, 6 DBi of gain. The user on the other end is using a base antenna, not sure of type, but about 50' and cannot hear the
