Although Matt J. attributed the test results to the Javad team in Armenia, he doesn't go into detail as to how they conducted their test(s). Is there a separate paper or other publication by the team doing the tests in Armenia describing in-depth which radio-to-antenna cables, ground plane discs, TX antenna(s), etc. were used in each of the radio tests. For example, were all tests completed using the same cable (14-578117-06) and a 2.4 dBd gain antenna (99-587309-01) without ground plane disc with the base of the broadcast antenna at a height of 2 meters and the LS HI at 1.5 meters? The
photos included in July's radio workshop look like they were using a 5dBd gain UHF antenna with a ground plane disc at about 4 meters above the ground used for their 1-watt viewshed test, but likely not the same arrangement for received signal strength indicator table above. Without knowing the testing conditions, the stated expectations may possibly vary.
