We use a mars antenna. It is technically a v/h pol but has flexible mounting to have it sit on a 45 slant. Field testing showed almost identical performance to the expensive mti.

Actually through a couple trees, didn’t plan on using this AP for NLOS, but customer bought house currently on 900 and wants much higher speed and is only 1/4 mile from AP. It works OK with a bare SM but due to the high plan he wants, I want to get 8X if possible. As you say, I’m hoping a small panel would be better than a bare SM or a reflector dish.

I don't have a problem using a dish if I need the gain, just wondering if there is something more like 12x12 inches and 14-16 dBi.
