<div>I had a similar experience where one HT wouldn’t hit
one of the three nearby 2m repeaters. Lowering the
J-Pole a few feet away from the supporting limb made a
significant difference. Other 2m repeaters seemed
unaffected. Other radios seemed unaffected. Once I
found an answer, I stopped looking for other solutions,
so no, not a full scientific work-up.</div>
