Mike, Just my 2 cents worth (after 50 years of RF experience).
In many cases, four 90-degree sectors is a waste of money. You will have more sector overlap than need. Three 120-degree sectors is just as effective and costs less. A single omni is normally a bad idea. You have no protection from interference coming in from any direction. jack Mike Hammett wrote: > Since Patrick posed that question about cost for a typical 3 sector tower, I > ask the following question: > > How many sectors is typical for you? > > My answer is 4x 90*, unless it's a small area repeater, which is then a > single omni, or different as that situation requires. > > > ----- > Mike Hammett > Intelligent Computing Solutions > http://www.ics-il.com > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > WISPA Wants You!
