San Marcos has the same type but, I usually see about a 20 ft. mast with a yagi mounted on top to transmit a certain direction at the location of the meter itself. I've seen the yagi that davidbond is talking about and they are not similar to the water meter yagis we have in San Marcos (supposing they are the same thing).


Checking the RR db here these ranges are most used:
453.1500-453.9500
458.1500-458.9500
467.7500-467.9250
809.8375-813.8625
854.8375-858.8625

I see a few patterns. The 453.XXXX is probably coupled with the corresponding 458.XXXX as output/input. I would bet the same holds true for the 809-813 & 854-858 output/input.
