I was compensating for the electrical tilt but just one degree was throwing it way, way off. Trying to get a usable signal 15 miles out, maybe less, and that slightest fraction of a degree would change it considerably. But after reading Tom and Mercy's posts it's all making sense to me........... A little more work.

Technically speaking.. if you are not concerned about dealing with 'near' customers.... less than 1 or 2 miles... then you can pretty much leave the sectors at '0' tilt.. and you have coverage to the horizon.... The built-in electrical down-tilt typically throws folks off...... only becomes a factor if you are needing to down tilt for near customers.. Faisal.
