+1. The other benefit to snow vs. rain is the droplet size (a rain drop is closer to the wavelengths we use vs. a snowflake).
Snow actually causes two different issues typically than fade thru Free Space. First, depending on the geometry of the link, may cause multipath where snowless conditions do not have it and two (and more likely) melting snow built up on the antenna and re-freezing builds ice on the radome and causes fade.

Even wet snow is relatively "dry" when it's in the air until it hits surfaces and starts congealing.

I can't imagine it would be good. I am in Utah too. Am I wrong for engineering all of my 24GHz links at less than one mile?

(when you have them just right, it does take a bit of patience, each side of the chain should be similar or the same +/- 1db 3) you might want to reduce the RX gain to low, and or if you leave the gain high, try reducing the power one 1db at a time... to get the full 8x modulation...

What does it mean when the second chain is so much different from the first on these units? Don't even know if the dB is dialed in at this range :( --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
