There's one a mile from my home, and 2 others within 5 miles, with no obstructions of any kind. No hills, no tall buildings, just trees and homes. He says this explains nothing because he signal is highly directional. True or false? Probably true. I am an RF engineer (retired) and it makes sense to me that the tower antenna would be designed to have maximum response in the direction of the highway that they're trying to cover. There are solutions to your home location reception problem (external Yagi antenna hooked to an in-house repeater) but it's quite expensive. I've seen some setups that only use two yagi's, one in the home (or business), and the other outside, connected only by cable. No repeater involved. dxAce Michigan USA |
