I live in an apartment and have a Repeater. What are my options for installing a Repeater?

1. Yes

2. No

your options are:  Whatever you can do..    But more than likely, not much of an antenna will get passed your landlords sniff test.  Good Luck

Why do you need a mobile relay station? What are you trying to accomplish? What is the make and model of your station, antenna, and duplexer?

I’d bet you don’t need a repeater.  I’d bet you can’t get a system with an antenna up high enough to make a difference.   Why do you think you need a repeater?

Depends on the landlord. Just talk with him and ask permission. Explain exactly what and how you are going to do it in plain simple English. Back in the 80s my landlord let me put up a 40 meter dipole and run the cable. It helped that I offered to repair any holes I made and paint the apartment. It was a bargain for me.

if you are on a high floor and/or if you are on a hill/above a valley, etc, then all you need is a mobile/car antenna on a cookie-sheet in the window.. I am able to get ~20 miles of farz this way with my repeater.

Your farz may vary.

You live on the 1st story, 2nd story, got a balcony, access to an attic?

Your unique situation is going to determine if a repeater is going to do you any good.
