Where exactly is the one repeater, and where exactly are you having coverage issues (and are they in one or more places, and is it indoors or out that's having the trouble)?
A Quantar is actually a perfectly reasonable repeater to use for conventional simulcast, so I wouldn't be tossing that out. Lots of solutions involving wireline, old-school microwave, and of course IP-based wireless or wired solutions abound.
But the first thing is to figure out, on a map, what you're trying to do. I've got a lot of experience filling in coverage gaps with my own homebuilt simulcast system, so shoot over some details.
OK, so here we go.? I've been given a challenge, to help an fd get
better coverage.? We've gotta take this 1 step at a time.? So right
now they are on vhf.
They have a single site repeater.? We're thinking simulcast right now.
The repeater is a quantar.? So, keeping the current repeater in its
current home, let's ay we add 1 more to the mix, doing a simulcast,
what would we need?
This is my 1st simulcast adventure, and i actually wanna learn more
about it to help them out.
