Hi, I would like to set up 2 antennas (East and West more or less) but will not get more than 30 subs between the 2. I would like to connect both antennas to one AP.

One thing you need to be careful of is both pieces of coax need to be tuned to the proper length so that the antennas are "in-phase" with each other. Otherwise you will have multiple signals hitting the receivers of your clients and AP at different times. Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC P.O. Box 126 Buc
