2022-01-15         Installation of a new S-COM Triple Repeater Controller is going to add flexible design characteristics with a powerful programming language. http://scomcontrollers.com/7330


2021-05-26         FINALLY the CommScope DB636-C (8.1 dBi) omni antenna was delivered.
That ended a 3 month backorder wait-time for this very important part of the installation. The CommScope DB636-C has a very impressive Maximum Wind Speed rating of 220 mph (354 km/h) as well as a better than average dBi gain of 8.1. For high-level repeater operations in hurricane country that's very important for survivability and performance after an event.

Conversely while the CommScope's very popular line of exposed dipole antenna's are great for repeater operations too they have much lower Maximum Wind Speed ratings.
DB408-B - Maximum Wind Speed rating: 125 mph (201 km/h)
DB404-B - Maximum Wind Speed rating: 100 mph (161 km/h)

Both great antenna's in their own rights, but in our opinion not when you compare survivability as one of the key factors.


2021-03-28         Repeater construction completed.
Testing at low-level for any issues before the high-level installation. Chechout the DeLand 600 About page for more information regarding the equipment used.
