REPEATER OVERVIEW
The following are estimations of the repeater’s talk
coverage range:
Note:
"Figure 4. Maximum Estimated Repeater
Coverage Range” on page 9 shows the
estimated maximum range that assume ideal
antenna location, and favorable
environmental and terrain conditions (no
obstructions and line of sight).
As seen in Figure 4, the maximum antenna height
for low power fixed stations is limited to 23 meters
(75 feet) above ground. For stations operating at
fixed locations for temporary periods, the antenna
height is limited to 7 meters (20 feet) above
ground.
Note:
Proper programming of the repeater (Refer
to "Programming The Repeater” on page 38
section for more information) and optimal
repeater antenna location are the most
important factors that determines the
coverage and quality of your repeater
communications. It is highly recommended
to refer to "Pre-Installation Considerations”
on page 10 before proceeding to install the
repeater. Make sure your 2-way radios are
repeater capable (able to manage separate
TX and RX frequencies for the same
channel). Refer to "Programming The
Repeater” on page 38 for more information.
