Another thing to think about is to do what a few fire departments around here have done... add another site, use the same input frequency at all sites with a voter, but have different outputs. Yes, you'll need another frequency coordinated, but you were going to have to do most of that for simulcast anyway.
Both San Mateo County and Monterey County, California are running setups like this.
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.
