How many of us are doing 140 mile links too. ;-) I don't consider anything under ~30 dB worthwhile for backhaul almost anywhere. ;-)
Anything more than 15 - 20 miles, I go to 34 dB. At 140 miles I wouldn't use any less than 8' dishes. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Moore" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 12, 2015 9:47:24 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] AF5x Record? huh?

Ubiquiti clearly hates antenna gain. 31 dBi dishes! AF5 with 23dBi. I wonder how much better it would have done with 3' or 6' dishes.
