I remember when they announced their new "high gain CPE" the Sextant... which was still smaller than the smallest CPE I used. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: "Glen Waldrop via Af" To: af@afmug.com Sent: Wedne

I can't get over the small gain MT uses. It also bugs me that the FCC seems to be all about massive amps and small antennas rather than the reverse. If it was actually about interference PTP shots with narrow beamwidth is preferred. I suppose it is too much to ask for those in our government th

The SXT antenna were always too weak. Give me 25 dBi or give me death. Well, okay, I don't feel that strongly. I just won't buy it if not. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: "Stefan Englhardt via Af" To: af@afmug

We’re starting the move to .ac with MT now. The 922UAGS-5HPacD has the same dimensions as the 911/411 Boards so we just replace boards. We get good results with Mars Antennas with housing for P2P. The SXT-Antennas are to weak for .ac. The 19db Mars Antennas give good CPE/short range PTP with

Ya, I don’t’ think so. If you use Ubiquiti you pretty much know what works and what doesn’t. in reality, you use as few custom features as possible outside 802.11 compatibility and limit the radios to Layer 2 bridges or nothing more than NAT whenever possible. Try not to use any of t

There is some power gain per Mhz in the 650 but at the same time if there is interference on even some of the channel it will show up in the waterfall spec. The issue is making sure link loss level is really close to what link planner says it suppose to have. This will ensure proper alignment o

I’ve got 400’s and they work great. Mostly replacing Nanobridges and using them for PTP with 10 and 20MHz channels where I don’t need DFS. Can’t use 500’s yet, firmware still needs some TLC. Rory From: Af [mailto:af-bounces+rory=triadwireless@afmug.com] On Behalf Of timothy steele

ptp650 works great in my neck of the woods tower to tower without colo interference and yes there is filtering and it does not use the entire spectrum unless you want it to. I have one on a tower with a ptp500 and another ptp600 along with ptp800 and 4 sectors of pmp450 with no issue. I have a
