[QUOTE="Spiff, post: 1100235, member: 404998"] The apps are no longer on my phone due to space Channel Hopper, neither can I find anything that makes sence online now as to towers. The app had a compass type needle, how it worked and was directional I never did figure out. You may well be correct in suggesting it was not doing anything in real time. : ) The reason I think of a beam is the gain over an unidirectional aerial, once the correct aerial for the frequency is up high, I can turn it for maximum. At least those are my thoughts, the UHF TV comes in on a very tall mast with a 21db preamp, even though we are way below line of sight. The beam heading is very critical, I know it is way above the power of cell phone masts, but much wider band width. I doubt a vertical would work. I used to some years back receive the old WD 2m repeater on a large beam, when there was a bit of a lift, but nothing on a vertical. That was way up in Devon. There is some signal up above the roof, if it is enough for a repeater I do not know, most of them suggest that several bars are required outside for the devices to work. I feel that one that worked as it should would make use of any signal. I do not wish to flood the flat with signal, if it only worked with the phone next to the inside repeating aerial, that would be all I require for a text from the banks : ) [/QUOTE]
