EXTENDED OPERATIONS
When operating in "Fringe Areas" at some distance
from the System, the other party may not receive your
transmission clearly. Also, you may notice that the back-
ground noise will increase on received signals. Moving
to higher ground or moving closer to the System will help
alleviate these problems. If moving closer to the System
is not practical, communication may be improved by
moving away from shielding structures. If you are in a
building interior, move closer to a window (preferably one
generally in the direction of the System). At 800 MHz the
wave length is very short, sometimes moving a few
inches to a few feet can make significant signal strength
changes. Finding the best location can also be done
while listening to the background noise while moving
about; attempt to find a spot where the background noise
is reduced to a minimum or eliminated entirely. This may
make the difference from not being heard, to being heard
loud and clear when operating in the fringe areas of your
System coverage.
The fringe distance will vary greatly from plains areas,
hilly terrain and mountain top sites.
