Who is your new gig? From: Daniel White Sent: Monday, August 03, 2015 6:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Alpha wireless omni
I can be too :-) Talk to me next week. My new gig distributes Alpha Wireless antennas as well.

Will soon see if we can stretch that to 2.75 miles. I think it will do well considering the locations. bp<part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 8/1/2015 10:47 AM, Ken Hohhof wrote: Yeah, we’re only using them for a radius of less than 1 mile, and usually with a CPE right at the repeater site, so the smaller antenna with more downtilt seemed appropriate. I question whether that’s really a 10 dBi antenna though, the range has been disappointing.

The site is currently 2.4 FSK and an omni with 7 degrees downtilt, but the 2.4 interference has become too bad. I have been trying to use Rockets in U-NII-1 with the Ubiquiti 10 dBi omni, but the range is really poor plus I’m tired of waiting for the SOON firmware for the Beams. I also see home routers now coming preset to use channels 36-48 by default (which makes sense), so U-NII-1 may not stay quiet in town.

And has anyone used either of them? My experience with 5 GHz dual pol omnis has been disappointing, I'm wondering if these bigger, more expensive omnis deliver better performance. 11 dBi isn't much if you can lose 3-5 dB at certain azimuths, another few dB depending on frequency, and another 3 dB at zero elevation due to 4 degrees electrical downtilt with an 8 degree beamwidth. For $600+ and 6 inches diameter, I'd expect it to wash and wax my car. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com
