Re: [AFMUG] RF Armor for a CPE

Ha..Whitehorse Communications in El Paso had 14 2.4GHz links with Hyperlink amps covered by foil and duct tape years ago on same roof on mountain. Using Mikrotik boxes...of course it didn't work. Antenna were not more than 20 ft. from one side to the other...I am sure I posted pictures on of

Re: [AFMUG] RF Armor for a CPE

If the goal is improve SNR on the CPE, wouldn't it be just as well to get a dish with higher gain and higher F/B ratio than to cobble weird stuff together? I don't mean to say that a cooking pot is any weirder than foil tape, galvanizing spray, tin foil, or "RF armor".  I just mean that at

Re: [AFMUG] RF Armor for a CPE

I have seen a person (not me) zip tie a cooking pot to the rear of a nanobridge, in addition to the rfarmor kit, to cut down on noise from the back side. It worked. On Fri, Jul 27, 2018 at 9:55 AM, Jeremy wrote: > I have masked the front and painted the backs with galvanizing spray > paint,

No... you have to use an ePMP AP with elevate. Even if you could do that, I doubt there'd be enough difference to matter. On Mon, Jul 30, 2018 at 1:52 PM, Jay Weekley wrote: > You can load Elevate on a UBNT on a Force 200 and it will connect to a > UBNT AP? Is the Force 200 a better dish than

You can load Elevate on a UBNT on a Force 200 and it will connect to a UBNT AP? Is the Force 200 a better dish than the Powerbeam? Mike Hammett wrote: Sure it will. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions
