Multiple Repeaters In A Single Location (Multiple User Groups) - Motorola RPU2160 Installation And User Manual

During this RF test coverage, one of the key field
conditions to test are those spots that will be the
most likely to be used for most of the people
(indoors and/or outdoors) and those that may
appear particularly challenging due to concrete/
steel walls, building architecture, obstructions (like
trees or vertical fire panels in ceilings or walls) and
terrain shape. Make sure you walk around all
those places in order to test reception and
transmission signal strength.
Conduct the test transmitting preferably on those
settings that you will plan to have your radios and
repeater programmed(*). If possible, repeat the
test using different frequencies and codes.
Note: (*) Remember TX range for the repeater is
450 – 455 MHz and RX range is 465 – 470
MHz.
If the reception coverage is below expectations, try
changing the height of the antenna or the repeater
location (do one change at a time so you can track
what is really affecting the coverage) and repeat
the field test coverage.
MULTIPLE REPEATERS IN A SINGLE
LOCATION (MULTIPLE USER
GROUPS)
As the repeaters have 16 different programmable
channels to choose from for setting up the TX/RX
frequency pairs, it is possible to configure multiple
repeaters in the same location or around the same
area.
