Hi guys,
I have a Motorola XTL-5000, 800 MHz, that we use as an indoor base station for EMS. We've been having reception issues lately due to one of the city's nearby repeaters dying (and it isn't going to be replaced any time soon).
I'm trying to fix this with two approaches:
1) purchase a higher-gain antenna
2) mount it in a better location
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good high-gain omni antenna to use indoors? Price really isn't an issue at this point.
Also, I can put it in a location that has less material between it and the sky, but it would require mounting it about 120 feet away from the radio (which, I assume, would introduce far too much line loss). Any suggestions on that front?
Thanks!
