I do what I can. Pretty busy of late though. It's amazing what reflections can do to a guy. I wish that the dB meter on the sb units was accurate. That's the real measure of what's going on. I try to keep all of my links in the -65 to -75 range. High enough to have a good fade margin, low enough to "scquelch out" any multipath.
