RE: [Repeater-Builder] Inside a Flag pole Tower

[Paul Finch]

Dean,   I have to ask, why no higher than 8 dB?  That negates the use of a DB-410 antenna by 1 dB, one of the most popular antennas around.  I would think from a lower site you would want the highest gain antenna you could get since there would be no over-shoot.  I also understand the "no-down tilt" on a low site like a cell tower.  I have to admit, I missed the start of the thread.   Paul   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 04, 2005 5:14 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Inside a Flag pole Tower Hello All, We install many of the flag pole antenna supports as well as the pine tree supports here at work. You will be fine with your 440 Ham band antenna. But watch your gain. In DBd do not go any higher then 8 DBd. Plus no down tilt. Have fun! Dean Westbrook, EE,PE.   Yahoo!
