I had a link with XR5 at each end with 2ft dishes at each end that was 18.5 miles with no issue. I needed more throughput so went to Radwin radios with the same antennas.

I googled for it, but saw a lot of very old post with conflicting info. I need to build a backup link for one of our primary's and if the MT's can do the job all the better!
