Regardless, transmitter power probably makes a lot less difference than people expect - even if you doubled the power it would probably be difficult for most people to tell the difference in a blind test. (If I'm honest with myself I don't think I could tell with just a radio to judge).<div>
<br></div><div>The biggest impact on coverage (positive or negative) is transmitter (aerial) position - which could easily double (or halve) your coverage depending whether it is a good or bad position. </div><div><br></div>
<div>If you have coverage problems, having ruled-out faults, the path of least resistance first of all is to look at your transmitter site, and see if there could be a better location. If your transmitter is at your studio, then STL's (Studio Transmitter Links) might not cost as much as you think and they give you much more freedom over this important variable.</div>

Please yourself, but from the variances already reported on this
forum these rules do not seem to be being applied consistently, so
I'll stand by what I say<br><font color="#888888">
