yeah, we are the PCN is -43 and we are -42/-41 Everything tests fine,
speedtests are great, full capacity. I wouldnt be concerned if it had
been hard to get the link up.
we did full H/V sweeps on both sides, then fine aligned as normal. I
just expected it to be hard to find the link and somewhat easy to use
it. on the sweeps we didnt see notable side lobe peaks. just strange.
Im really freaking happy with SAF on this though, great support from
moonblink both pre and post sales, input from SAF sales and support
directly, quick responses. I guess my only complaint is the product
wasnt harder to use

If you got the signal the PCN states you're good to go. You can
also do a speed test to verify your 300 some megs if you need to?

yes.
you do understand my concern is that they linked up too
easily? Im almost thinking we could have just laid the
antennas on their sides and they still would have made a
marginal link. If I werent so pessimistic I would be excited
about this. Im concerned when the ground thaws or something
everything will go batty
We have cut the traffic over to it.

Is it possible im seeing some sort of multipath type
madness that this thing just wouldnt not link up. Ive
had a harder time pointing shorter 5ghz links

madness we are a little better than the target
after fine alignment. at one point we had the
4' side pinting to the ground abot 100 yards
out ant it still had about a -80 on the bnc

Yeah, it was so considerate of AT&T to
leave that dish up there when they sold
off the site, only needed to be re-aimed
about 2 degrees to go where we wanted.
And they built a platform to stand on
while aiming it, that was awfully nice of
them. And they left the flexible
waveguide down to the shelter. I’d really
hate to think about hanging a new 12 ft
dish ourselves and running waveguide to
it. And it’s an Andrew parabolic, not the
old WE horns, so we don’t have to worry
about water getting into the waveguide and
freezing. It doesn’t even look like
anyone has been using the lightning bolt
logo for target practice. Life is good
when someone abandons nice stuff you can use.

HPBW for a 12 ft dish at 11.2 GHz is 0.5

Nope, a 4 ft dish in 11 GHz should be
pretty narrow, a few degrees and you
should be into a deep, deep null. Take a
look at the beamwidth or pattern for your
antenna. It should be similar to an 8 ft
dish in 5.x GHz.
We once used an existing 12 ft dish for an
11 GHz link and I kept having to tell the
tower guy he was not going to be able to
eyeball it. The beamwidth was something
like 1 degree if I remember right. He
ketp getting nada for signal until I made
him slowly sweep the azimuth.

*Subject:*[AFMUG] aligning bigger antennas
on short paths
Weve never gone above 2'
we finished installing our 11ghz link
yesterday and had the antennas rough
aligned, one side is 3' one side is 4'. I
expected the tighter patterns would make
it harder to find the initial link but
they actually linked up right off the bat
and it was right on the projected power
levels.
This is only 10 miles, so we have visual
on the path.
We did a little rough alignment
yesterday, and will do the fine alignment
today. when we we roughing it there was a
good amount of travel on the antenna (4')
side we were on and only a couple db
change. do larger antennas on such a short
path give you a little more leniency in
alignment or something? we will do full
horizontal and vertical panning today to
make sure we arent in side lobes, just
curious is there is more slop in this
scenario.
