Perhaps carrier mentality? Design for full modulation at 5 nines in a heavy rain zone? Cookie cutter, use same equipment on every link? Tower lease that doesn't charge more for the bigger dish?
You might even ask why 11 GHz at 2 miles and not 18 GHz. -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Faisal Imtiaz Sent: Friday, December 30, 2016 9:21 AM To: af <af@afmug.com> Subject: [AFMUG] Question Regarding 11ghz Links. I am curious, what is the wisdom behind installing 4ft dishes for a 2/4 mile 11ghz link ? Is there a technical reason ? or is it just a way to maximize the return for the vendor ?
