Whats the accepted elevation for fixed? Sounds like something to try instead of using my omni antennas!.

Mike, It depends on the vertical radiation angle of the aerial you're using.
With an angle of 30 degrees at the half power points a good compromise is to fix it at 25 degrees elevation. Remember ... LEO's spend 70% of their time below 65% elevation.
More than 6 elements is not! recommended for fixed elevation installations, the horizontal beamwidth will be too sharp. Less elements = broader beamwidth ... (and lower gain) ... "horses for courses" Mike.
