Index of refraction is pretty constant with frequency, it is roughly equivalent 
to dielectric constant and permittivity.
But angle of refraction does change with frequency.  Snell’s law.

6205ft / 126 = 49ft
I remembered the right multiplier....but apparently I made up the reason.  The 
multiplier was different for 900mhz.  I don't remember about 2.4ghz.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the index of refraction vary with 
wavelength?  Isn't that why a prism makes a rainbow?  If so, then the speed of 
5.8ghz microwave through air would be different than simply "speed of light".  
Is it still close enough for these girls you mention?

  OK, round trip would be 6205 x 2 or 12410 nS in a vacuum.  But it is a bit 
slower in air.  Close enough for the girls we go with.

  For reference, I checked a PTP450 radio here.  It shows An Air Delay of 126 
bits, 12625 ns and 1.175 miles (6205 feet)

    I don't know if this is still true, but it used to be that air delay was a 
count of 10 nanosecond intervals, and if you multiplied by 49 feet you'd get 
the actual range. 

    49 ft/10ns being the speed of the signal through the medium.

      Air Delay on the PTP450 is at:  .1.3.6.1.4.1.161.19.3.1.4.1.24.2

      The current round trip air delay in bits measured between the AP and SM.

        Anyone know how to pull link miles from a PTP450 link master using SNMP?
