John,
If I'm reading this correctly, you're trying to do this all in a trailer - yes? Since you are operating "portable", does your coordinating body have an "Itinerant" UHF pair you can use for the repeater? If so, this might make your situation MUCH easier to engineer. Mark - N9WYS _____ From: [email protected] On Behalf Of John Barrett ---- snip ---- The key here is the height of the cans. if they are short enough (less than 30" total including tuning rod), I can do 2 banks, facing different sides of the trailer.. doubling the number of cans I can pack in. Only one of the cans I have so far exceeds that spec, and only by a little.. once its tuned it may be less than the 30" max, or I can trade it off with a shorter can on the other side to make up the difference. I would prefer to keep all the cans on one side if possible, but it is looking more and more like it will not be, so I'm willing to give up some space in the power electronics bay to make space for more cans.
