Default getting radio communication into a metal building


"eganders" wrote in message
ups.com...
I am a consultant for an AVL (automatic vehicle location system)
system used by the Southeastern counties of Michigan. The system is
used on winter maintenance vehicles and works on 900 MHz. The
vehicles are often stored overnight in metal buildings where it is
difficult to obtain transceiver communication from the AVL system. Is
there a low cost (possibly passive) way to port 900 MHz radio
transmissions into these buildings?

Thanks,

Eric Anderson



Hi Eric

How inconvenient would it be to use two antennas, one inside and one
outside, with coax connecting them, and *try it*?
