There are a couple reasons- The cable run is @ 57 meters max, 40 meters with some really creative rope work. Rural, rolling terrain, much trees. By the time you add the cable, la, filter, pigtail etc., I think I need to make up as much loss as I can on the gain side. We never mount BS radios on towers anymore- don't like the exposure of waiting around for ice to thaw, need for multiple people to climb/watch to trouble shoot etc. Can you tell me what you mean by the pattern shrinking to paper thin? Of the 3 manufactures of H-pol omnis I looked at, the vertical beamwidths run from 9.5-18 degrees. If ground level is 915' and antenna is 120' AGL, then wont the beam be mighty wide by the time it gets to horizon? I could be completely ignorant here......
chris Why go higher then 9db? The pattern will shrink to paper thin figuratively speaking. We have waaaaaaaay better luck with 9db or less at 900mhz.
