+1.
I'll second that. The first time we used the optic dish, we got the
dishes a couple weeks before we got the radios. So we installed &
aligned the dishes, then came back a week later and installed the
radios. Much to our surprise, the links came up spot-on the path
prediction. In fact, I think we had a couple db margin.
Almost as good is the Accu-aim from WBmfg. We've used the Accu-aim on
dishes as small as a nanobridge/nanobeam, and as large as a 4'
radiowaves. Most of the time, the links are spot-on when turned on. You
just have to watch out for rivets and other protuberances that make the
mount not quite square.

I have throw a plug to chuck for these dishes.
It saved us a ton of time yesterday getting a 9 mile link ptp450 up
running in minutes vs hours.
We used 2 2ft optic dishes at each end and used the scope to lock the
cross hair on the target.
I used the newest link planner and the link said we should see -58db
+-6db and we got -52 on both ends
with 8x/8x mod and 100% link quality on 5800Mhz
I love these dishes and so do my techs.
Thanks for the 80Mbs link to our newest tower.
