When it comes to gain, there ain’t no free lunch. From: Josh Reynolds via Af Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2014 5:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Random thought
The horn does have some modest advantages. Moving to a reflector would remove those advantages completely.

They are now working on a version of the radio adapters for the inner-feed that are shielded. I also asked to see if we could get some slightly larger gain models, say 3-5db more. I was told it probably would make the horns too big, but that they would go back and check.

I am considering special plans that only apply to the subdivisions immediately around my suburban water towers. I could get something like the new RF Elements horns and have some crazy downtilt so that my signal doesn't go further out than 2 miles. That high elevation will help out with that much downtilt. Now my fastest two plans are 4 megs for $60 and 10 megs for $100. I've been considering doubling the speed across the board, but I may need to revisit that offering to see how well it stacks up against them. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Tyler Treat via Af" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2014 10:15:14 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Random thought Yea but there will always be a subset of individuals who opt for a third option, be it for reliability, customer service, whatever. � �People hate the duopoly. � ___________________________ Mangled by my iPhone. ___________________________ Tyler Treat Corn Belt Technologies, Inc.
