REPEATER OVERVIEW
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 will determine 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.
