Re: Running a Repeater on a FM Broadcast Tower

repeater on 444 mHz. It has 16 bays and a 9.1 dbd gain figure. It is cut
for 450-470, but has plenty of sweep to reach into

Re: Running a Repeater on a FM Broadcast Tower

Comprod, Sinclair, or Commscope exposed dipole array in the 2 or 4 bay
variety.

Re: Running a Repeater on a FM Broadcast Tower
You might consider adding an isolator to your uHF system between the TX
output and cavities. Chances are you are not going to encounter any issues.
