Why do some repeater setups require separation between the two antennas?
Most repeater systems have a minimum requirement for the distance between the inside and outside antennas in order to prevent oscillation. The repeater will not work if the antennas are not separated far enough, so it is very important to read the product details and/or instruction manual before purchasing a repeater – if you will not have enough room in your application for the required separation, that amplifier/kit is not going to work for you. Higher powered amplifiers typically require more separation between the antennas.
