927 is a real neat band we have 3 repeaters on the air at Metro-Comm on
927. The best omni we use is made by TX/RX on our Ocean City NJ repeater.
Much better then the RFS on Chester PA or the SINCLAIR on Eagleville PA.
But they all work very well. You can get gains like 12 Dbd for an omni. Good
luck on your 900 MHz project!

It's a good antenna, but it is long, heavy, and rather expensive.
When you are shopping for a 900Mhz antenna, you really need to look at
what you want the antenna to do. The particular antenna that you picked
out would play superbly to the horizon, but would overshoot the area just
below it if you installed it on a very high site. Be aware that 900Mhz
allows you to get some really fantastic gain, but there is a
tradeoff. You may want an antenna with less gain, downtilt, and
possibly null fill.

I delt with Celwave in the past on commercial sites as well gov. They
seem to be pretty good and stand by their equipment.
Opinions?
