Re: [WISPA] coax cables
Chuck, Vegetation might have a huge impact on the coverage area. I've seen pictures of your area, it looks like heaven to me. My experience is that the first two trees will eat up a 5.8 signal, so expanding the coverage area by 80% just adds another tree or two. It might be very sensible for Kurt (?) to use the coax rather than put a little more signal into a bunch of foliage.

Re: [WISPA] coax cables
Dude That is not what I was commenting on. You made the following blanket statement regarding radio links and waveguide: If you have any distance at all to go, and you want it to work, you have no choice. That is the statement YOU made with your 5 million years of experience. THAT statement could not be father from the truth. There are other choices and they are more cost effective. THAT was the statement that would seriously confuse the less educated population regarding the wireless/RF part of the WISP installation. And when I talk about less educated I don't mean someone is stupid. I mean they do not have or have a very limited knowledge base regarding RF and read this list for information. For anyone that doesn't know better they could think the only way they can make a link work is to use eliptical waveguide. And that is incorrect. There are tens of thousands of links running on Heliax/LMR cable and I am NOT talking IF freq here. I'm talking RF out to the antenna. And BTW.My theory of WORK is it does what it is advertised to do with 20 dB of fade regardless of freq band.

Re: [WISPA] coax cables
I would never use coax for 5.8 period. Not unless you are only going a few feet. LMR900 can be used for up to 50 feet. It is better than 1/2 heliax.
