Yeah, if you want cheap, go with ubiquiti 900mhz. I'd guess more like at least 6-8 watts... they use a bit more power than 2.4 or 5ghz ubiquiti stuff. Cambium PTP450 is a good option if you want something better, but it's a lot more costly. I think Mikrotik makes (or at least used to) a 900mhz rad

oh yeah forgot about those! nice 5 or 10 MHz wide channels... 2-3 Mbps throughput, IIRC. they draw something like 4 - 6 watts? That might be the trick . -- On Tue, Jul 2, 2019 at 5:12 PM Jaime Solorza wrote: > We have several 900MHz links operational for over 4 years using Ubiquiti > M900 r

We have several 900MHz links operational for over 4 years using Ubiquiti M900 radios...using 5MHz channels for SCADA, ViewPoint and camera traffic. Longest is 4 miles ...stable. On Tue, Jul 2, 2019, 3:02 PM justsumname wrote: > So it's been like 10 years or so since I've really messed with this

So it's been like 10 years or so since I've really messed with this stuff. What's the gear for quick/simple/reliable/low-power-draw (solar -ish) WDS-bridge type thing? Assume no RF noise, etc., clean slate, few trees, short hop...yadda... Or 700Mhz I guess, if I have any clue what I'm talking about
