[Shop-talk] push to talk (nextel) amplifier

[Pat Horne]

  John,

Back in the days of AM car radios in the Los Angeles area there were 
several tunnels where driver's would loose reception while inside. All 
the city did to fix this was to string an insulated wire down the length 
of the tunnels, with a good length of wire outside. If you can find out 
what frequencies the phone/ptt uses, you can try a piece of wire for an 
antenna outside the trailer with a piece of coax running into the 
trailer, then another antenna inside. This will help some, but as to 
whether it will be enough depends on a lot of variables.

Peace,
Pat
