Regarding Avcom The Avcom units require extra "modules" to go beyond 2.4 On a tower, trying to plug-in something else is kind of a hassle
>From an ease of use perspective, I would recommend that you find a "1 piece" spectrum analyzer...that covers all the bands You'll appreciate it when you're hanging off the tower...trust me =) -Charles ------------------------------------------- WiNOG Austin, TX March 13-15, 2006 http://www.winog.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Butch Evans Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 12:17 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Re: [WISP] Renting Spectrum Analyzers On Thu, 5 Jan 2006, Jenco Wireless wrote: >Wow.

It is a big and expensive unit, so >don't plan on carrying it up a tower ! You could, also, talk to Marlon. He has one for rent, or used to. Also, if you are looking to buy, he is able to sell you one through Electrocom. The Avcom units are pretty useful, and easy to use. The one that I have is built for 2.4GHz only, but they have adapters to add 600-1000MHz and 5-6 GHz. These are VERY lightweight units. I have carried mine up a tower with very little effort. Marlon's rental SA is NOT lightweight at all. :-) -- Butch Evans BPS Networks http://www.bpsnetworks.com/ Bernie, MO Mikrotik Certified Consultant (http://www.mikrotik.com/consultants.html) -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
