Default low power FM TX and multiple antennas?

"MRW" wrote in message
ups.com...
Greetings.

If we are using one low power FM transmitter and we want to use a 2-bay
FM antenna configuration, will using a power splitter at the
transmitter output be sufficient?

The FM TX utilizes a type N connection to the FM antennas. .... So if I
split the power output and just have two outputs to handle each of the
two antennas, then that would work right?

What other considerations should I have in mind? Do I need to worry
about phasing issues?

Thanks!

You need to understand more about antennas. Please look at (and learn from)
the methods used by commercial broadcasters - that have been at this for
decades -- they have taken the road of "least cost" and best economics".

2-bay and 4-bay designs are common is FM broadcasting and even used in the
Land Mobile Radio (LMR) Service. Amateur radio references can be invaluable
in learning the proper theory.
