Not necessarily true with high frequency or millimeter microwave gear. Due to large fade issues inherent with higher frequencies it is not uncommon to engineer a link with -35 RSSI levels.
I believe the Giga is safe down to -25 RSSI or thereabouts. However the higher the modulation rate the "less hot" you can run it.

That is usually the sweet spot on most RF equipment. Right now you are screaming at each other. ----- Original Message ---- From: Gino Villarini <g...@aeronetpr.com> To: WISPA General List <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Friday, April 3, 2009 1:38:09 PM Subject: [WISPA] Trango Giga Problem I have a 2 mile 18 ghz link using Trango Giga, Im starting to drop packets, auto rate has dropped speed to qpsk, still MSE and BER is being affected sometimes on one end or both ...ATPC is on, rssi is -35 on both ends anyway to tell where the problem is?
