That price is a little crazy though.  You could just maybe buy that steel and 
weld that and galvanize it yourself for $78.  Maybe they use slave labor.

Re: [AFMUG] 5GHz Omni standoff

2016-03-11 Thread Ken Hohhof 
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.

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.

I thought maybe it was an error, but I looked back I my records and I bought 10 
of them custom with longer pipes back in 2011 for $101 and my notes show the 
price of the standard one being around $80, so it looks real.

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. Not much price difference to Radiowaves.

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

2016-03-10 Thread Chuck McCown 
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.

I thought Chuck posted something awhile back about X many wavelengths, I
