RE: [smartBridges] test

There is a local company that recently couldn't get a 5 Mile PtP link 
going.  The link is using frequency hopping and the radios are designed for 
distances greater than 15 miles.  They started off with a couple of 24dBi 
grids.  I wasn't worried until I heard they were going to slap some amps 
up.  Turns out they put up some 20 Watt amps at each end and still couldn't 
get it going.  They figured it had to be an alignment issue but they still 
couldn't figure it out so they put 15dBi omni's at each point in place of 
the grids.  When I found out they had those amps on there still I called 
them up and carefully explained to them that they are idiots.  Convinced 
them to shut it down and offered my services.  Now they have a nice little 
link using a couple of 19dBi grids and nothing else.

Why does everyone think that more power is better?

I was eyeing the 10watt from Hyperlink.  Who needs line of sight?
