Are the front of the dishes flat so we can put the WBMFG clamp and scope on it?  That makes aligning AF24 links so easy, we don't even bother to pull up the DBM reading while installing.  The Trango24ghz dishes had an angled front on them, so it wouldn't work with them.

Yeah, the MTI dishes that Siklu uses (at least the ones that I've seen are MTI), have much nicer adjustments than the Bridgewave/Radiowaves dishes. Anything at 80ghz is a pain to aim, but it helps if one adjustment doesn't throw another one way off everytime you touch it.

    The Siklu adjustments on mounts are very accurate...the trick is
    to make sure mount is solid on structure...I mean solid...the
    Bridgewave mount we used three years ago were more difficult to
    align as bolt tightening moved the dish.
    Longest like was just under two miles
    It was a large project at Fort Bliss...we took three months to
    install hundreds of Siklu and Bridgewave PTP links, several
    hundred Cisco APs and Ubiquiti 3.65 links ...

        One of our distributors is trying to push us into an 80ghz
        link for a
        1.7 mile hop.  Siklu says that 2' dishes on each side will
        have no rain
        problems in our Rain zone 'K'.  I have trouble believing that.
        Our AF24
        link that is in place now Fades during rain events.  An AF60
        link we
        have at 0.4 miles also fades.  What are real world experiences
        with 80ghz?

        How hard is it to align 80ghz dishes, especially at that
        distance? We
        once had to align a 24ghz 3' Trango dish that had no fine
        adjustments,
        and it took almost 2 hours because the signal would change
        with every
        turn of the UBolt.  Same with the AF60 radio, but that mount
        bracket is
        a pile of garbage anyway.  I see they sell a fine adjustment
        bracket for
        the AF60 now.
