Re: New antenna
The 9dBd gain number looks right. You're probably shooting past Mt. Soledad to one of the South zone sites (UCSDMC, Otay, etc.). (Mt. Soledad is in the North Zone.) :mrgreen: Don Thanks for the help Don. The map I have doesn't really show which zone the Soledad site is on. It is just sitting out th...

Re: Which TGs on which zones
Thanks for the help guys. I hadn't thought about the lack of radios on a zone preventing the repeating of a TG there. I was kind of hoping for a listing somewhere that would shorten my learning process. I found one such site but it is fairly dated and shows the zones as north, south, and central.

I now hear all 3 RCS zones and the city system with no issues. The antenna was $6 with $15 for shipping. Ca...

Re: Which TGs on which zones
Thanks Don! You confirmed a couple of my assumptions and gave me the answer. MA channels would be countywide for sure. Duh. The incidents out in Ocotillo Wells that I hear, sparked my curiosity.

Which TGs on which zones
Which agencies/TGs are repeated on which zones? I haven't been able to figure this out. Some but not all agencies/TGs seem to be repeated on all zones. What determines this?
