I'd go lower -- a DB-404.   Chuck WB2EDV       ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Bosshard (NU5D) To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 9:38 AM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Building Repeater Use a very modest gain antenna - higher gain directs more toward the horizon and less close in signal.  Maybe a db408 at 30 ft?  Guessing the tower is at the center of the complex and not offset?  Also, is the complex single level or multi level?   Steve NU5D   On 5/4/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I need some assistance from the brains...   I am installing a small UHF repeater (GR500) at a building complex. The users are on simplex now, using Motorola HT1250 portables and are having problems with "dead spots". The complex covers about 50,000 square feet, mixed between brick with metal studs, cinder block and some outside covered areas. The roof is metal. Communications should not be required more than one half mile from the facility. A fifty foot tower is available on the building. Any suggestions or recommendations for the antenna and mounting arrangements?    Thanks Will YAHOO!
