[AFMUG] Largest dish for ePMP?

2015-09-16 Thread D. Ryan Spott
I have a father in law that is 18 miles from an ePMP tower run by a 
local WISP.


Per a text message from the FIL; "all they could get was a -78 with a 
large offset reflector."


I texted back and asked if they could just use a connectorized radio and 
a dish.


I guess the tech was 'in the zone' and did not think of that. Since I am 
more used to UBNT stuff, what is the largest production dish I could 
advise the FIL to get to help these guys out?


They offered the Force 110 dish but I am sure there are some aftermarket 
dishes that provide more gain.


Advice?

ryan



PS, I know the guys that run the WISP read this list-serv. You guys are 
doing a great job. Good luck getting all that maintenance done before 
the snow flies!

You need to order the specific radio holder you need.  If you are using ePMP 
make sure that the dealer gets you the holders for that radio.  They are not 
included.

The easiest thing to use it probably a 2' (or 3', if you want) UBNT
RocketDish - RFelements makes an adapter to snap a connectorized ePMP radio
right into the dish.

hah, that video is awesome!

I wish somebody would make the opposite of that bracket... for putting AF5x
radios into Force 110 dishes, granted there probably wouldn't be a huge
market for it.
