Looks like I may have to install a repeater in a school we just had built in our district, Cleveland County, NC. Have talked a bit about it in the licensing forum regarding some licensing questions and some radio questions.
New question, related to the antenna. I have sitting here a brand new Kenwood TKR-750 repeater. Same one we use at other schools that we have VHF repeaters at. I will most likely use this one for this new school. We are licensed at 159.840 MHz for our last repeater (last 50W frequency). I need advice on an antenna (2 actually as I will do a 2 antenna set up without a duplexer). On the other schools, some have 2 YAGI style antenna's, one has a YAGI style with a small fiberglass omni-directional it looks like, mounted to it, one has what looks like 2 omni-directional antennas. It's a hodge podge. I'm new to the radio stuff, at least as far as going down the rabbit hole of installing an antenna and repeater. I'm more of a component level repair guy. I've looked at the Antenna Farm site and see lots of antennas that will handle that frequency (our other frequency will also be in the 151MHz to 158MHz range). Any advice on what would work best for this kind of set up?
