Re: [AFMUG] Does anyone other than Onan make a decent mounted gas generator?

It's part of their new hybrid package. I think it has a large battery that powers the inverter up to a point, and if you use too much power, it starts the engine to supplement. The generator also runs as a motor as a supplement to the gas engine, but only for short bursts. The braking is hybrid reg

Re: [AFMUG] Wireless Wire Dish @ 1km

The Mikrotiks are by far the easiest to align of any of the 60ghz stuff I've tried, and I think they're probably the most reliable too. I have a set of the new variant sitting here, and they look to be an improvement, but I haven't tried them yet. They would be my first choice for super short links

We ordered the newer variant of the wireless wire today, we will see how it goes. We are waiting to see how the cambium product does and plan on using the extensively for short short stuff, we have an odd number of banks with remote drivethroughs very nearby. I'm jaded on ignitnet. One of those in

Re: [AFMUG] Wireless Wire Dish @ 1km

The 5ghz backup would have been pretty useless on longer links. The problem is that it has tiny antennas (8dbi, if I remember right)... so it really only worked for really short links anyway, and even then, it seemed kind of buggy. On Fri, Feb 19, 2021 at 3:55 PM Sterling Jacobson wrote: > It’s

Re: [AFMUG] Wireless Wire Dish @ 1km

ditto on the metrolinq. I like the 5GHz backup. Seems to work fine for short links as long as you understand it is just a patch antenna on the font. On Fri, Feb 19, 2021 at 3:55 PM Sterling Jacobson wrote: > It’s wise of them to have dropped 5GHz because it never really worked all > that well.

Re: [AFMUG] Wireless Wire Dish @ 1km

It’s wise of them to have dropped 5GHz because it never really worked all that well. The radios/antennas didn’t seem to be made for it and it ends up causing more issues than it solves IMO. From: AF On Behalf Of Carl Peterson Sent: Friday, February 19, 2021 2:50 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Use

Re: [AFMUG] Wireless Wire Dish @ 1km

I wouldn't recommend the MetroLinq. We still have a few of them in our network, but they tend to just die out of the blue especially in cold weather. And it's not really 2.5Gbps unless you are all 1500 byte packets. It's more back to 1Gbps or even less throughput on smaller packets because it has

Re: [AFMUG] Wireless Wire Dish @ 1km

Seems strange to me that they dropped the 5GHz backup radio from the GBE Plus and the AF60LR. All the other 60GHz radios have a 5GHz backup of some sort. We have installed a number of the little 60GHz GBE radios and they seem solid for short links with easy aim. On Fri, Feb 19, 2021 at 3:31 PM Ma

Re: [AFMUG] Wireless Wire Dish @ 1km

I think they claim their "Wave AI" feature is supposed to somehow magically make long links work better... but yeah, being able to use 66-70ghz behaves more like 70/80ghz than the lower 60ghz band, so you can do much longer distances... you still have the same problem with rain fade, but even on so

Re: [AFMUG] Wireless Wire Dish @ 1km

I think they claim something like 13km, which probably is actually possible. We have one link running at 4 miles, which actually works a lot better than I expected. It doesn't take too much of a storm to take it out at that distance, but it can be pretty useful as an emergency backup. On Fri, Feb

It will work but have some bad fade and/or disconnects in the rain. We are using the Ubiquiti Airfiber 60 LR for PTP links of that range. It’s UI, but this product stands out since it can use the “upper” channels of the 60GHz (near 70Ghz). From: AF On Behalf Of Steve Jones Sent: Friday, Februa
