[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1103318, member: 175144"] [I]One way this can be done is by a spatial separation of the antenna i.e. mounting the antenna with a gap between them of a few inches. But this assumes that the polarization of the signal is vertical. What I mean is the radio waves are polarized up and down, this isn't very likely. [B]The radio waves might have left the transmitter mast nicely arranged vertically but after a few reflections then god knows what the orientation of the radio waves will be; they certainly won't still be nice and vertical.[/B] So using a couple of antenna setup to receive waves which are only vertically polarized is not the best setup. A better antenna configuration is to orientate the two antenna in a cross pattern. This way each antenna is at 90 degrees to the other so it means you're more likely to pick up a signal over a range of polarizations.[/I] [HEADING=1][I]Omni or directional[/I][/HEADING] [I]My advice is go for an omni.
