Sounds like a case for using 3.65 for your BH links. Good engineering around channel assignment and width and polarity would give you a lot of combinations.

I was looking at 5.4 solutions because my 3 mile hops have lots of 5.8 and I am running out of spectrum. Without frequency reuse via GPS or HSS, I have to move to another frequency. 5.4 seemed like it might be a viable option for the short hops, and use 5.8 for the long hops, or even 2.4 with dishes. So MT guys, with a 411 AH, and R5H, you can see speeds up to 30M with low jitter?

How is that possible with a 30dB EIRP max limit? Sure you could use a 36dB dish but I can't see how you can turn the power down enough to stay in compliance.

I'm not sure I'd put those antennas on a Rohn 25, though. :-p MT 20 MHz can go 35 megs or so, depending on board HP and RF conditions. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------- From: "Eric Rogers" <ecrog...@precisionds.com> Sent: Saturday, October 31, 2009 8:30 AM To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Subject: [WISPA] Backhaul Questions > Ok guys...Looking for both Mikrotik experience and others.
