our city public works department complained that their 2-w portables
weren't working as good as they remembered -- of course they were 15 years
old...
we checked the (motorola) repeater -- the 100w PA was inop and had probably
been that way for a year.. we replaced it and turned it down to 40w. the
users were estatic!
the next thing we did was install a 40w system for the transit department
and used the same tower. in order to get 2 antennas far enough apart, we
'shrunk' the DPW antenna -- replaced it (16' 9dB gain) with a 5' 3dB gain
antenna. this works even better because our city is on the south hillside
of a valley with the tower on the north ridge -- wide vertical beamwidth is
cheaper than downtilt <g>...
