Ok...now I'm going to backpedal. RSSI is the sum of the power of all
the OFDM subcarriers. I suppose if something is preventing you from
receiving all of the subcarriers then your RSSI would look low...I still
feel like the dish would add the same amount of gain in that case though.
Does anyone know if 802.11n will function normally while receiving only
some subcarriers? 802.16 won't, but LTE will. What about Canopy?

I upgraded a customer to 2.4 ePMP last week that was about .6 miles
from the tower. The signal with just an integrated SM was -67 so I
decided to use one of Chuck's dishes for ePMP but only got an extra 2
to 3 db improvement. The last time (only time) I used the dish I got
8 to 10 db improvement but was about 2 miles from the tower. Is that
too close to the tower for a dish or is that just the nature of wireless?
