If you really want to get serious on 2.4 use one of these: http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=66529&eventPage=1
which totally blow away anything else we've tried.

The metal cap adds a whooping 1.2dB really not worth bothering with IMO. Only reason they provide it is because people where used to the Andrew dish that basically requires it the Andrew dishs suffers greatly without the metal cap. For some time now the bigger Pac (Laird) grids all are shipping with a much more heavy duty L bracket then the old ones. I had a FCC certification lab test out one of the 24dB's about 2 years back and according to them the unit did measure in very close to 24dB. The linked feedhorn and grid is a Pac 5GHz grid so if used on 2.4GHz I'm amazed that you get the gain out of the solution consider the feed is NOT designed for 2.4GHz. / Eje -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Jeromie Reeves Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 9:28 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Looking to Sell.......... Oh I do not do ANY 2.4 ghz links other then APs for houses or small groups of houses (IE Picos now). (ok I have 3 users left on 2.4) The Pacs with the cheap metal clip on tip are CRAP. I can not express the horribleness of those enough. The ones like I linked, are great, and are on par with 2ft solid dish's (obviously not the same gain, but they do not bounce in the wind or act funny or lose the tip and really start going wonky) and the links stay with in 2db as the wind blows. The others drop 10db or more in mild wind. I have been replacing the feeds with the ones from that link and it makes all the difference. The mount from the old one is the standard Pac mount that they use on pretty much everything. This one, is the same but made of thicker metal. Both work well, and the units are better with the new feeds. Add a bullet and its a very nice link that works great. I have about a dozen of the old ones left that will be replaced with NanoBridges as I move everything over to AirMax. Yup wasted time/money on the cheap grid, now buying the better one.
