Ok, people, I've got a problem that's really bugging me. I had to move<br>
to an apartment this year and the building seems purpose-built to block<br>
2 meter radio signals. I have a tri-band HT that is literally worthless<br>
inside and a Yaesu FT-1802 50 watt 2 meter radio and a 1/4 mag mount<br>
antenna. In the old house (in Youngsville) I could easily hit the<br>
148.88 repeater even at 10 watts output. Here, in downdown Durham, I<br>
can recieve transmissions on the FT-1802 but not push a signal to the<br>
repeater (the HT is useless inside, it can't even pick up a useable<br>
signal from the repeater).<br>
<br>
So, what can I do? The building management already said no to a roof<br>
mounted antenna of any kind so that's out. Can I try a different<br>
antenna inside the building? The building in question is an old tobacco<br>
warehouse with foot-thick brick walls (exterior) and interior walls are<br>
built using metal studs with drywall over top.<br>
<br>
There's got to be *SOMETHING* I can do.<br>
<br>
Any ideas are welcome.<br>
<br>
Greg<br>
