1. yet to do, both on the same LONGER pole and 4+ meters vertically apart
2. original config with RX on gutter, and TX on pole .. only worked 2km radius
3. window where the radios are.
Fresh thoughts after reading some other forums tonight...
1. extend the current two piece sloppy fit pole with an extra 3 or 4 meter middle section .. taking it from 7 meters to 10 or 11 meters.
2. fuck my thick coax off (thick into thin with joiners is shit)
3. as the site only has mobile antenna's and bases, de-solder both bases and run new RG58 coax for both the RX and TX. RG58 is only $1.45 a meter at Jaycar etc.
Total coax length depends on where the pole is mounted .. but 30 meters at $1.45 should be heaps to redo both the RX and TX with the pole mounted at the original location on the side of the building (fig 2) where the ground is 1m higher.
If the pole is long enough, then less coax will be needed and the pole could be mounted at the rear window (fig 3) where the radios are.
4. Gotta stack 'em ... pole already has a mount on top, but will need a bracket lower down for the RX antenna. I can do that.
Fresh full length same sized and same rated antenna coax, vertically stacked antennas, and shielded radios should work.
Coax is is easy and cheap. Lower base bracket is free.
Another alloy pole that will fit inside the current (2 inch?) outer, and outside the current inner (1-3/4 inch?) is the important part.
Gotta vertically stack 'em. :russell:
