Yeah, but what if it doesn't work with the 8' dish? once you have
some kind of a link in place, it's pretty easy to get a good idea
of what's going to happen when you get bigger dishes on there.

Putting up an 8' dish without having any idea what it's going
to do seems kind of risky - I'd assume that's not going to be
cheap to put that up. I would want to put up some kind of a
test link before I went there, even if it was just a pair of
PowerBeams.

Cambium LinkPlanner would help you get a good guess of your
outcome, use the PTP 25600 Radio as a AF2 replacement in your
calcs, add the foliage and voila!

Not in this case. If they won’t let me put a 1 or 2’ dish on
the tower they run to get extra bandwidth to the school (7
T1’s for 300 kids) or the medical clinic (2 T-1’s), I’m
thinking they aren’t going to let me cut down or trim a mile
of trees.
Everytime I proposed something I was answered with “we have a
plan, just be patient”. Not really my strong suit. This plan
involves towers but nobody knows who gets awarded or when.
So, 2.4GHz through a mile of trees, here I come.
I thought of the 2’ dish and see what happens but I don’t want
to have to pay tower climbers so do this twice. I’m going to
do the 8’ dish on the tower and 2’ dish on the roof. Once I
see those numbers, I can make adjustments on the roof.
Biggest issue is AF2 through trees. I’m thinking that I’m
bringing up a pair of ePMP 2.4GHz radios also to compare. I’m
also considering putting up a Cambium 450i 900MHz as backup
with a Yagi.

Actually, you would be surprised. I have asked them to remove
trees in a microwave path before and they had no problem doing
it.

I’d like to stay out of jail and I’m pretty sure the U.S.

Have you considered the rigging/hoisting and mounting costs of
8' dishes, vs chainsaw or doing something more creative in
dish location with 2.5'/3' size dishes to get real LOS?

Gain is never an exact number as it always varies over the
covered frequency range and polarization, but from what I
understand Ubiquiti overstates their gain by 2-3 db over the
'industry standard' measurements. Similar to how they say the
AF24 can go up to 10miles, which is effectively bs, the max
99.99% availability reliable range is 3-4 miles almost
anywhere on earth that a substantial number of those radios
coild be installed.

Gain is not quite as high as you are asking for, but L-Com
goes up to a 900mm dish. I can't quite tell if UBNT over
states their gain, L-Com understates their gain, or if there
is another fundamental difference, but the L-Com 900mm dish is
only rated at 25 dBi.
I have not used it, but I've been happy with their 400mm unit.

size 2.4 GHz dishes are great at gathering unwanted 2.4 noise
