Is it possible to only have one repeater for a PD? Has anyone ever heard of it?
Yes. If they only have one channel pair, and don't have too many officers.X1536 said:Is it possible to only have one repeater for a PD? Has anyone ever heard of it?
I'm sorry, but a 1,000' water tower? Where is this at, I have got to see it.X1536 said:however it is about 1,000 feet above the ground. (water tower)
X, check out the wiki page for "repeater":X1536 said:What's simplex? Without a repeater?
He asked about Bowling Green, Ohio FD in another post and the only things that are 1,000' in the air in that part of Ohio are TV antenna towers and airplanes.Sonar said:I'm guessing the water tower is on a hill that gets the antenna up to an elevation of 1000'. Not a 1000' water tower literally.
Bowling Green is at about 700 ft, so it only takes a 300 foot tower to get to 1000 ft AMSLmdulrich said:He asked about Bowling Green, Ohio FD in another post and the only things that are 1,000' in the air in that part of Ohio are TV antenna towers and airplanes.

The statement was "however it is about 1,000 feet above the ground. (water tower)."N_Jay said:Bowling Green is at about 700 ft, so it only takes a 300 foot tower to get to 1000 ft AMSL
X1536, First YES a lot of police departments, fire departments, EMS agencies, and just about anyone else who uses radios can have just one repeater. Multiple repeaters are used in a trunking system usually.What do you mean by one channel pair? Yes, it's a small city. Four watts just doesn't seem like a lot of power to me. For the portables to get out to the one repeater... however it is about 1,000 feet above the ground. (water tower)
What's simplex? Without a repeater?
Well, then I guess some people have trouble judging height.:roll:mdulrich said:The statement was "however it is about 1,000 feet above the ground. (water tower)."
