Troubleshooting Q2: Poor speech quality in the coverage area Possible Reason Troubleshooting (1). RxQual of donor signal is originally bad. (1). Re-orientate or re-locate donor ant. in order to find another donor signal. The alternative way is to contact (2). Adjacent-channels or Co-channels were the engineer of operator to fix the BTS problem.

Troubleshooting Q4: High Drop Call Rate in the coverage area Possible Reason Troubleshooting (1). Input donor signal is too weak. (1). Increase input signal level by re-orientate or re-locate donor antenna. If possible, the alternative way is to (2). RxQual of donor signal is originally bad. change the orientation of BTS antenna (3).
