Is it possible to resolve a second adjacent channel waiver issue by employing a directional antenna?

Yes, employing a directional antenna can potentially be a solution to address a second adjacent channel waiver issue. Directional antennas are designed to focus the radiation pattern of the transmitted signal in specific directions while reducing it in others. By carefully configuring a directional antenna, it may be possible to minimize interference with neighboring stations on second adjacent channels, thus improving the chances of obtaining a waiver for such a setup. However, the feasibility and success of this approach would depend on various technical and regulatory factors, and it may require consultation with experts and relevant authorities.

Can I lower my power output to reduce the size of an overlap zone when seeking a second adjacent channel waiver?

Adjusting your power output can help minimize interference concerns and improve the chances of obtaining the waiver. However, it’s important to ensure that the reduced power level still complies with regulatory requirements and serves the intended coverage area effectively.
