Pine trees and earth are not the best friends of 900. Default settings are what you should use, in my experience. YMMV.

We installed a link today, it's about 2000' through some pine trees, with a little bit of a small hill in the way. Using XR9 cards on both ends, and 17dBi yagi antennas (M2 I think?). Only seeing about -75 to -80 on both ends. Is this normal? I would have expected much better signal, going only that short of a distance. I left all settings on the MT router default, as in tx-power is default, and antenna is port a, etc. Should a different power level be put in?
