Do people ask your advice and then do the opposite?

Paul, the 2.4GHz experience with these antennas is horrible. When I say
horrible, I mean horrible. 5GHz works fine for the most part.

Can't comment on the latter :)

Well, obviously the dual band part is attractive… was just wondering if an
1/16” steel backing would help it. Would cost much, and still retains the
lesser tower rent per month. 4 extra sectors = $ 200+ per month

Throw it off the tower and put something else in its place?
Short of building a big metal wall (which may not work, just guessing) I'm
not sure what you could do.

Is there a way to further shield the back to make it acceptable ?

We're abandoning the use of these in sites. 2.4 in V/H is the first
problem. F/B as JL suggested. The antenna itself is not at the higher level
of desirability, but in a pinch where you might need to retain space and such
it might work out ok. I wouldn't put it in my WISP anymore though.

Chuck

It helps to use the version with the built in enclosure... it gets you an
extra layer of metal on the back that kind of works as shielding.

I have some ITElite 2.4GHz sectors, still on the ground due to the poor F/B
ratio.
Gain is really good in testing though. I'm going to put something else up
to shield the back.

The F/B ratio is shit. Complete shit. Garbage. Just awful. I've got
several sites where the 180* actually has more gain than front facing (ie I
hear east better than west while being a mile or two west of the tower).
The hardware is a joke, but workable.
Forward 5 GHz gain seems about right. 2 GHz gain may be lacking, though
I suspect it isn't.
