Has anyone ever tried foil tape and seen an improvement?

The foil table is cheap and easy to try. If it doesn't work, you can
always peel it off. As for the 6db result from earlier, were you
outdoors in inside when you tried that test?

I used to use galvanizing spray paint to repair stingers that had
lost their gold stickers, and it worked great for that. I would
clean the residue off, mask and spray the circle, and then paint
the whole thing white.

Galvanizing spray paint may not have a good faraday effect due
to the small zinc particle size and the lack of electrical
connection between particles. Just a guess. I would think
foil tape would tell you for certain.
But the paint may have been just as good. Never really tested
it for that. I know that eventually the vehicle somehow
weathers or evaporates away and allows the zinc to do the
proper electrochemistry when applied to steel.

I have masked the front and painted the backs with galvanizing
spray paint, but the difference was not really very
noticeable. I debated trying foil tape, but just gave up
frequency reuse on that old UBNT gear.

I would have cost them just a penny or two to have coated
the inside of the enclosure with aluminum deposition or
nickel paint (or arc spray zinc) to have eliminated much
of that.
I wonder what the difference would be to put foil on
everything but the area in the front where the antenna is...

....so it dropped from hearing at a -30 to a -36. Still
too hot for them to both be on-channel obviously, since
they put out so much noise out the back. Obviously a
directional antenna like a Powerbeam will be different.

In my experience testing RF armor on a two
Nanostations facing opposite directions, ten feet
apart from each other, each rf armor lowered the noise
level by 3db. So both of them lowered the level that
they could hear each other by 6db.

How effective is RF Armor in reducing interference
being received by an SM? Obviously it depends on
which direction it's coming from .
