Right, they shouldn't be calling it a sector. It's not.

What do you mean the coverage isn't as good? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stefan Englhardt via Af" < [email protected] > To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 2:51:35 AM Subject: [AFMUG] Rflelements announcement This is realy something I did not expect: They announce Systems with Horn antennas. A quite different approach. Their sectors are directional antennas so coverage is not as good as with traditional antennas (Their marketing argues the opposite). But horn antennas should have very low sidelobes, a good FB-Ratio and allow small angles. So it should be possible to make a more dense deployment. What make me scare is the big opening where water and ice may cause damage.
