Could a filter have a mechanical lever or switch to change the frequency it passes? If so, you could do it with a servo.
Maybe nobody would pay what that would cost I guess.

An external filter ahead of the RX amp should help. AFAIK, nobody has yet invented a good front end filter that is not mechanical and somewhat fixed. Hard to do that with software.

Seriously!? It doesn't need it. The have an electronic, software controlled filter built into the radio. The only thing you'd be doing with external fixed bandpass filters is shaping the Tx output. The 450 radios have a pretty damn clean Tx signal as is, which is one reason why you can stack channels with zero guard band.

Has anyone experimented with inserting a notch filter on a 450i 900 AP, for a specific 7 MHz?

All of the options I can find are for a wider 900 band, more than a specific 7-10 MHz section, and cost $150+ a piece, so you're adding $300 and some jumpers and 0.5dB insertion loss.

    Dude, there's interference everywhere in the 900 band. Cordless
    phones, baby monitors, security systems, smart meters, SCADA..
    and the list goes on.

        If you do 6 sectors, you're using the entire band and have
        nowhere to go when one or two sectors is experiencing
        interference. Or you have to drop down to 5MHz channel
        bandwidth which sucks. This is why we do 4x90 clusters. Two
        channels with wiggle room. Of course that's FSK's 8MHz
        channel width. I think a lot of people have found that 7MHz
        on the 450i works best.

            Well, if you want small... there's these, I'm not sure
            I'd want to try doing channel re-use with them though.

            be an issue due to the size.  Right now I’m interested in
            throughput per antenna and what kind of throughput to
            expect with GPS.

            If you guys are talking about the 900mhz 450i 65 degree.
            Straight from the horse’s mouth is the 65 and the 90 are
            the same antenna. Just more role off to achieve the 90. I
            have tested it outside of the 65 degree but within the
            90. I was not happy with the results. One customer had to
            be put back onto FSK yesterday until we can get another
            AP up or a true 90 degree. Just would not modulate up and
            finally dropped off completely.

            I looked at the 450i and noticed the sector antenna is 65
            degrees.  Does that mean a typical tower installation
            uses 6 antennas?  In that scenario, I’m assuming 10MHz
            channels if there is no interference. In that scenario,
            what is the available bandwidth per AP assuming most
            users get pretty good signal.  Or is there a better way
            to deploy the product?
