![]() ![]() However, if you can get a repeater up in the air with a good antenna and feedline, it’s going to work quite well. This is not necessarily a disadvantage, as it results in great building penetration. ![]() Objects that get in the way, cause the signal to bounce in different directions. This is where a RF signal can take different paths when propagating from a source to a destination. Multipath propagation is much more pronounced on this band than 440. You get the expected faster mobile flutter or picket-fencing on noisy signals (just as 70 centimeters is faster than 2 meters) due to the extremely short wavelength. That and monitoring 800-MHz trunked public-safety radio. A lot of hams actually have some experience in nearby spectrum 800-MHz cell phones. Band characteristics are pretty similar to 70 centimeters (440 MHz) in terms of local propagation and in some ways better.
