I'm needing to do a 14-mile link at 5.8GHz. I will have to use a 15"-or-so flat panel antenna due to building owner's asthetics requirements. On this 8-story building, I'll mount to the side of the masonry, then I'll have about 25 feet of LMR-400 from the antenna to a weatherproof enclosure with 110v power.
On the other side I'll be 100' up on a tower on a hilltop, and I can use a higher-gain antenna. I believe I'll have to use an amplifier to achieve this. Soo... A) Am I incorrect about this? B) If I'm correct, what 5GHz amps have you found to be effective? C) Opinions on using regular or bi-directional amps?
