Well, the AF-5/5U does have a couple of good points over the 5X - because it can do full duplex, it can do quite a bit more throughput, you can use an entire 50mhz channel for one direction (I think something like 640Mbps, if you can get 10x to work), where the AF-5x can only do 75% of that at best

Original AF5 is twice the cost of 5X but it does full duplex. To me its more important to have all the 5GHZ band available rather than have full duplex in only the upper part of the band. On Mon, Oct 24, 2016 at 10:38 AM, Mathew Howard wrote: > Okay, but it still doesn't have any advantage over

Okay, but it still doesn't have any advantage over a normal AF5 in the US, does it? it looks to me like it would just lose you 5.47-5.7ghz, without gaining anything (in the US).

Yeah, the U is upper band only. The AF-5 goes down to 5470 (if the datasheet is still accurate). Very good antennas, but limited gain. 1024QAM. GPS sync. Good radio for the money, as long as it works for your link distance. On Oct 24, 2016 7:14 AM, "Josh Luthman" wrote: > I think one or two mod
