Generally not on a 900Mhz with wide beam. But height get more important when dealing with say a 11dB omni. On the Tiltek (believe it's a 19deg H-plane beam) I would probably consider 1-2 degree downtilt would get the sweet spot at at either 1.6miles or 3.3 miles out and the inner -3dB at a quarter to a third mile out. In 900Mhz generally in most cases I have not seen much of problems within a mile from the tower. 1+ miles out can sometimes be a hassle. So question is where one want the strongest signal. To close in and you might not have enough signal where it counts. To far out you might get spotty coverage in the mid field.
But 900 is 900 so it's not that picky as Scott states. / Eje -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Carullo Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 9:41 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] 900 Downtilt at 300' In practice I don't think it matters a lot with 900Mhz...
