Turn it down until you are. You still have the benefit of more RX gain on both
ends.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] licensing for bigger antennas than installed in 11ghz
that's what I figured. I assume putting in a bigger antenna than is licensed
benefits in terms of pattern but then I'm no longer legal on EIRP?

Considering their goal of reducing interference through more directional
antennas, I'm sure that installing a different antenna than licensed,
especially a smaller one, is a big no.

we have some links we are about to license, we can "get by" with 2'
antennas, but one is right on that margin.
we can do 2' all day long at all the sites involved, anything bigger and
wed have to do some retrofits that will create some other issues, not a huge
deal, just prefer to not have to deal with the repercussions
we would like to have some troubleshooting flexibility down the road. maybe
a 4 and a 2 or 2 3s, just depending on how the actual path performs over time
so can we do that, license them all with 3 or 4' and install 2' today?
I'm thinking no because of the antenna patterns on the PCNs not being as
narrow with the smaller antenna, but id like to hear its totally doable with
fcc blessing and they'll even send a guy with a rope to pull them up for us
