I work at Shasta Community Health Center. We have a main clinic and 3 satellite clinics in other nearby towns. They just built a new building up in Shasta Lake City. Metal walls, metal studs, metal roof. The signals for the pagers are not getting through, so doctors are not getting important pages. There is signal in the area though, if you walk outside of the building, you have a signal. So, they are planning on putting up a pager repeater system at the building. Here is where I need help though.
They are looking at two systems, the company is recommending a 500 W transmitter, but there is also a 250 W transmitter. The pagers operate on the 900 MHz band. The building is about 70 feet by 140 feet. They want to know if we really need the 500 W or if the 250 W would do the job.
Any help is appreciated. Someone found out that I was an amateur radio operator so they came to me for help. Great...
Anyway, thanks in advance guys.
