Yeah, not too worried about the dupler/diplexer cost. If licensing is the
same, why not.

I like using both polarities to maximize Rx sensitivity. Coordination is the
same cost. Duplexers are also not that much more.

Max channel bandwidth is 56mhz, but you should easily be able to get 250Mbps
out of a 40mhz channel... I'm not sure there's much point in going in narrower
than that. Actually, doing SISO at a 56mhz channel might make more sense, that
should get around 275mbps at 256qam (and a bit more if the link will do
1024qam, obviously), but then you'd only need a one polarity, so it may save a
bit on coordination, and you wouldn't need to buy the extra duplexers.

What is a common channel BW? 40 MHz? I suppose it depends on congestion.
I only need about 250 Mbps so lower order modulation may be desirable and
perhaps narrower channels too.

Of course, the exact configuration is based on your license and which
frequencies it is supposed to operate on. The above configuration is just an
example.

They are like that, but 3x bigger. On top, the lid comes off and the
duplexers go beneath the cover. If your link is 'High' then you will want
'High' duplexers for both sides of the link (x4 total - two extra to purchase)
- they will go in a configuration like 1-3-3-1 on one side and 3-1-1-3 on the
other side.

They come with 1 duplexer (setup for SISO) - you need to buy the second
one separately to do MIMO. You do need to figure out what frequencies you're
going to be using before you buy the radios, since there are two different
duplexers, depending on which half of the band you're in.
You need one frequency pair on both polarities (for MIMO).

Do they all come with two N connectors or do you have to pay more for
duplexers? Not quite sure how to buy or license. I guess you have to have two
pairs of frequencies? Or at the very least, both polarizations on the same
frequency?
Trying to collect some budgetary estimates on what my project is
going to cost.
