That was one thing that I was thinking about as well. If I got my
azimuth correct and the guys on the tower got the antenna aligned
correctly they should be on the outside of the main lobe but we've got
two LOS customers at .75 and .4 miles that have signals in the -50's. I
expected them to be in the -30's or -40's.

you are hitting a side lobe .......
for best results, try to adjust your antenna tilt on the AP.
(Have someone look at the CPE's (paying attention to the farthest ones), and
then adjust the tilt on the AP Antenna... so as to best combination of signals
on the close by cpe's and the far cpe..)

Subject: [AFMUG] Can you be too close to use a dish?
I upgraded a customer to 2.4 ePMP last week that was about .6 miles from
the tower. The signal with just an integrated SM was -67 so I decided
to use one of Chuck's dishes for ePMP but only got an extra 2 to 3 db
improvement. The last time (only time) I used the dish I got 8 to 10
db improvement but was about 2 miles from the tower. Is that too close
to the tower for a dish or is that just the nature of wireless?
