Let me back up. We lose our IN link every time a bird pees. It generally holds up during torrential down pours.
Random fog events will cause it to become trashed. The link is .6 miles. I expected it to fade from time to time. The problem for me is the fail over does not happen properly. It's a gosh darn USB dongle attached to a reflector dish. Don't expect too much out of it. > On Oct 19, 2017, at 18:28, Rory Conaway <[email protected]> wrote: > > How far is your shot?
