Does this seem like the radio isn't loud enough?
I setup the test CPE on the TV tower at my house and pointed it at the tower.
Radio Mobile reports the azimuth as 250 degrees, so well within the south
sector's coverage and only at a distance of 230'. I am well below the vertical
beamwidth of the sectors, explaining the relatively low signals, but ICS2 is
horrible.
1 = North, 2 = South, 3 = West, 4 = East.
It makes no sense that South is that much worse signal wise than the others,
especially considering that it should be on the South sector anyway. 3 and 4
are SR5s while 1 and 2 are XR5s. I just replaced the towers with the XR5s.
