Radio Mobile set-up assumptions

Mobile Antenna Height (m) 1.5
Mobile Antenna Gain (dBi) 2
Tx line loss (dB) 2 This is the loss from transmitter + feed-line + duplexer + antenna.
Rx line loss (dB) 1.5 Receiver path often has slightly less loss due to filtering differences
Rx threshold (μV) 0.3 0.3–0.5 μV (≈ -118 to -114 dBm)  Common real-world repeater setting
Required reliability (%) 70 Realistic everyday mobile coverage.
Strong Signal Margin (dB) 10 Design safety buffer added on top of the minimum signal required for reliable reception.

  

Repeater Book

Repeater Book is a free mobile app that gives amateur radio operators a worldwide directory of repeaters.

- Shows nearby repeaters with distance etc
- Works offline
- Searchable by location, call sign etc

As with any large database, inaccuracies can occur, and information can become outdated over time. For example, repeaters may be decommissioned or new ones installed. However, RepeaterBook is an excellent resource, and if you notice an error, you can easily submit a correction through the RepeaterBook website. Community contributions like these help keep the database accurate and make an already valuable resource even better.
