Yes, 3.65ghz. Purewave/Mercury Networks just responded and you and George are right. They said that we would see an 8-10 dBm difference between the uplink and downlink RSSI.

This is at 3.65ghz? 5.6db sounds about right to me for 60'. It is a big performance hit, but if they do have 1/2 watt per port, you might be able to raise the tx power enough to still be close to the max EIRP... of course you'll still be losing 6db on the receive side.

    Yes, from the base station to the sectors.

        Is it LMR400 between the sectors and the radio gear? 5.6db
        sounds like a lot to me.

        I'd definitely ask Purewave.

            We are going to experiment with some Purewave equipment
        that we
            have had for a while and one of our possible locations is on a
            water tank which means some of the LMR-400 to the sectors
        may be
            quite long. The loss calculator provided by Purewave shows
        that
            the loss on 60 feet of coax is 5.6 dB with Cable Run
        Efficiency of
            31.6 %.   Is this acceptable?  I haven't worked with coax
        much but
            that seems like that's a big performance hit considering
        the loss
on 6 feet is .7 dB and a cable run efficiency of 89.1 %. What is
            the performance hit the actual signal strength at the on the
            actual wireless link?
