Thanks Craig for reporting back. Was that a KP reflector dish or a feed horn?

Got a -79 signal but it would not stay connected and the link quality was miserable. I am going to go back and swap it to a 900 for now but some of you wanted to know how it went. There you go. I thought about a larger dish but dont want that kind of sail at 150' with the wind we have here.

I would appreciate it. Right now we are deploying some epmp in 5ghz to fill in some area's but I have been considering doing some in 2.4 in specific areas that are clean enough. One in particular we would want to do a few 10 mile links.

I have limited experience with the EPMP stuff but so far it is performing well. We even had a 7 mile shot without a dish for a short time that was -72 but we went ahead and dished it. I am installing this link tomorrow and it is a long drive to the site. I just dont want to have it be a problem after I drive 2 1/2 hours back. It is very remote on the dished end but somewhat in a town on the AP end. I've done FSK for years but the EPMP is pretty new to us. Craig
