I am a consultant for an AVL (automatic vehicle location system)

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,

One would expect a person who is acting professionally as an RF
consultant to already have significant knowledge in this area. I
realize this is a government job, but I wouldn't hire a day laborer to
act as a master carpenter or project manager. Please don't bill the
transit property for your time spent here trying to learn things in a
subject are which you're supposed to already have mastered.

Our man Eric might not be a RF consultant, eh? Perhaps he's a software
guy, or a system integrator, or looking for general ideas before leaping
out and hiring an RF consultant?


sounds more like a Bookkeeper, turned Corp. IT Guru, only because noone
else wanted the job, and he got stuck with it. Lack of Knowledge of the
Technology, doesn't make one incompitant, Not asking the right questions,
DOES.....
