I'd recommend not not buying antennas from ordinary retail outlets, they'll sell anything that looks good in a shrinkwrapped box. Look here instead: http://www.invictuswireless.com/category_s/2.htm These are decent, and not expensive, we've used them before: http://www.invictuswireless.com/H_D_Die_Cast_24dBi_2_4GHz_Parabolic_Grid_Antenna_p/dc24-24.htm http://www.invictuswireless.com/24_19P_p/24-19p.htm I saw some cheaper ones in there as well. The ubiquiti bullets will screw directly onto a female N-connector. It's good to seal the connectors too. If you really are out in the middle of nowhere, you won't have a lot of other transmitters to compete with. -- Russell Senior, President russ...@personaltelco.net _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
