Yep you guys hit the nail on the head. It’s the radome for us. I just cant risk another drop due to ice / snow packing in a dish. I tried to drum up enough interest in Chucks condom but not enough jumped on board. I didn’t even get a response from Cambium when I asked about the 450d radomes becoming available. Although we did confirm they would fit / work. Kind of pissed me off since I was told a year ago at animal farm they would have one for the 110. Now they have it but won’t sell it.
I don’t mind having redundant links in place. Its been the plan since we started putting up the 110’s. When it became obvious that they were not going to give us radomes we backed off the install schedule for the second links. So now we have to deploy the 200’s to get the radomes but have to give up GPS. I should have just deployed the microtik dishes with Eptp and radomes to start. That was the plan before I was told the force 110 would have them.

Would be nice if they could come up with a sync-over-power variant of the 200. ..... or let us order the 450d radome w/ sub-reflector element. The Force110 and 450d is the same reflector.. and feed.

I have not put up the force 200 yet but plan to start replacing all the force 110 links with them as soon as the weather warms a bit. The old 110s will become backup links.

I don't like more than 10 miles. But was curious at 20 On Feb 23, 2016 5:28 PM, "Mathew Howard" <[email protected]> wrote: Yeah - 40 miles appears to be the max for ePMP. Realistically, it *should* be possible to get full modulation at 8 miles with Force 200's, but at 20 miles, you're going to want bigger dishes.
