GR300 Help , Map included for reference
Posted: Tue Aug 06, 2013 7:28 pm
Hey guys looking for some help….
Currently I have a Motorola GR300 repeater. It will be located approximately 10 miles away from our office and coverage area. The proposed site is approximately 15 stories up. “I’m told the higher up the better, the location picked is the tallest around in the entire area, it just 10 miles away”.
Here is a photo of our coverage area. The Orange oval is the proposed repeater site. And the two blue ovals our two offices. The yellow represents our coverage area. We primarily use portable radios indoors. I made note of a couple job sites on the out skirts of our area. Almost 10 miles from our office and atleast 20 miles from the repeater.
As you can see we have a large area NORTH , SOUTH and EAST of the repeater site, that DO NOT need any coverage at all in the white area. We need to reach out 20miles from the repeater location in the yellow area.
Here is my question, Please forgive my lack of antenna knowledge.
1. Would a Yagi or directional antenna be better to project all its power towards our coverage area from the repeater?
2. If not a directional yagi antenna, what would be proper for our use? Our budget is under 200$.
PLEASE LINK ME SOMETHING FROM THE ANTENNA FARM.
