If we have one in the 5200 range (slave) and a Master 5775 that is 30 ft. away (horizontally, but still back to back on the side of a building) would that work?

I might be able to go up to 40 or 50ft. Back to back as well. thinking it through it really needs to be the Master. I guess I might have to use a different frequency for the new link if it doesn’t work with the Master being close to the Slave.

You do need to have the ratio matched on all of the masters though, so if for example, you have the current link set to 75/25, you would have to set the new master on the far end to 75/25 also (so you would effectively only be getting 25% download at that site)... not really an issue if you're running 50/50, or if 25% down is enough bandwidth at that location, but something to keep in mind.

Different directions with about 30 ft. of vertical separation. About 2 miles away is the “slave side” (I’ll call in BHS2) of one of these on a building, and I want another AFX5 dish going almost 180 degrees to this slave going to another tower 1.5 miles away. I can get about 15 ft. separation F/B between BHS2 and this new dish. Can I use the same frequency again on this new link? If I so I would assume I make the new “back to back – 15 ft. apart AF5x also be a slave and the far end (new tower) be the master? Since they are all GPS synced I didn’t know how much difference it makes or are there additional considerations?
