I run the radio system for an event. We recently moved from having to have a small portable rack for the repeaters to a trailer with built in rack space. We've had a few minor issues in years past, but mostly our radio system works pretty well... but I'm still not fully satisfied with the range we are getting on it.
What I have now:
2 Motorola XPR8400 repeaters (Capacity Plus)
2 Off-Brand Chinese mobile duplexers
2 Unity Gain Fiberglass Antennas
2x 50' lengths of LMR400 cable
4x LMR400 "jumper cables" between repeaters and duplexers
1 50' antenna mast
What is the weakest link in this system and what would be the ideal replacement and the more budget conscious replacement?
