What's your elevation? Even in the woods I've found elevation to make a big difference on those. A guy I consult has a really bad noise floor in the 5GHz band, pretty sure he has another's ptp shot shooting right between three of his towers.
If/when he goes sectorized with 5GHz it will be easier to track down, though we could just send someone up there with a NBM5 and have him turn slowly. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Hohhof To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2015 9:02 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] high noise floor ideas? Well, a little more information might be helpful. You say links, does that mean these are PTP links? Same antenna gain as the other links that have lower noise floors? How big an antenna? Could this link have more gain, or be pointed at a distant noise source? What kind of radios? Bottom line, there is one way to eliminate a bad radio as the cause, and that is to replace it. You could also try turning off your other radios briefly during a maintenance window to see if they are bleeding into this one.

No but it looks like one device that decided to take the whole band and add a 10db noise floor. we are used to -90 then a bunch of -60 signals in 20Mhz and at most 80Mhz chunks.

Other ends of the links and other links at the tower are seeing -90 noise floor through the band which is expected. Any idea why we would see the higher noise floor on a link end that's across the whole 5Ghz band that should be very low? Sent from my iPhone
