The parameters used are the same as those at the
RMC site, i.e. the dark
blue area represents a 99% likelihood of mobile and 90% hand held use,
the light blue area represents a 90% likelihood of mobile use.
The plot for the GB3OA
on the RMC site is for 25W ERP. The plot shown here is for what the
NOV has been granted for - 5W ERP.
From the outset
GB3OA was
designed to provide just local
coverage for coastal south west Lancashire, so it won't
provide coverage similar to "wide area" repeaters such as GB3MP.
Coverage in and around Southport Town Centre on a hand portable radio is
around 99%. Further away, mobile operation is possible
out towards Preston, Crosby and Skelmersdale, although there will be pockets of
poor reception. For fixed
station operation these limits may extend
further, but don't expect to get glowing signal
reports into the box!
