Re: [AFMUG] 5GHz Omni standoff
One thing to remember with this type of standoff mount is that the climber is probably going to be strapped to it with his feet planted against the tower (for a 2-3 ft standoff), or totally hanging from it (4-6 ft standoff). So it needs to be “man rated” or whatever the term is. Definitely not something you fab up in your garage, unless you really trust your welding. Anything beyond 3 ft probably needs a stiff arm, wind can generate a lot of torque where it attaches to the tower leg.

Re: [AFMUG] 5GHz Omni standoff
I have bought a ton of stuff from Connect-It. Their quality is amazing. One of the most heavy duty tower mounts I have ever used came from Connect-It. I have no idea how they get their prices so low, but it definitely is not by cutting corners on quality.

Quality things can be had from China, but they cost just as much as a quality thing made elsewhere... Example being the 2', 3' and 4' microwave antennas from Shenglu.

We have a couple Cyclone 5750-360's and PMP450 w/ KP 5GHz omni's on the 2' Andrew side-arms. The Larsen antenna on the Cyclone is a very good, smooth pattern. We do see maybe a couple dB discrepancy when SMs are on the opposite side, but they've been fine for the most part. So I think you'll be fine at 2 feet.

Re: [AFMUG] 5GHz Omni standoff
Distributors don’t normally stock any of my tower mounts. Almost all tower mounts drop ship from my shop. (No sense in anyone paying the freight companies twice.) Note, the vertical pipe is not included. You supply the pipe.

Re: [AFMUG] 5GHz Omni standoff
You will always have diffraction effects. No way around it. Different spacing causes different effects. I would put it on the side of the tower that has the majority of the customers. For certain 2 wavelengths. At 10 wavelengths most of the worst effects are gone. So 20 inches for 5 GHz.
