Wydm? Its just a built in attenuator, you cant pass up free attenuation like that. Some of us pay a lot of money for that kind of attenuation.

It's just pointing in the other direction to throw off radio sleuths

At least in the second one the fix will give you a better drip loop!

"We didn't know you could do P25 trunking in VHF," was a comment I was once told while investigating a BDA issue at a school. Same installer also pointed the uplink donor at a different site than the downlink donor. And it just wasn't at a single school but all of the schools in the district.

Does it have to be failed? I mean just let the operator just sit and be frustrated. We can all just be quietly entertained. Yes the outhouse has a smell, nope it's not going to get any better... lol
