Pop the cover on the AF5x, there is a tiny screwdriver adjustment marked “freq”. Just tweak it up to 6 GHz and you are good to go. Saves lots of money that way. <grin>

It is about to be swapped for 6GHz though.

The only parts involved are going to be the dishes and the radios, so it's pretty simple to price... well, I suppose mounts and surge suppressors too, but I assume you know where to get those...

From: Mathew Howard Sent: Wednesday, June 6, 2018 11:47 AM To: af Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 25 kM unlicensed That's because airfibers use a fixed up/down ratio (75/25, in this case). If you needed 50/50, this link would only be get you somewhere around 140Mbps each way. Signal is just a little too low to get 8X (256qam) on this case, but I probably could if I changed them to the new HD version, since they can get a little higher power at any given modulation, and they can achieve higher modulations at lower signal levels... it might even be able to do 1024qam (it probably could with 3' dishes anyway). going to a 50mhz channel would also add some 20% capacity (50mhz is the max for the standard af-5x, but the hd can go up to 100mhz if you have lots of spectrum to burn). An entire link with 2' dishes should come to router around $1000. I haven't priced the 3' dishes recently, but they are quite a bit pricier.

From: Mathew Howard Sent: Wednesday, June 6, 2018 10:16 AM To: af Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 25 kM unlicensed Here's an example of a 25km AF-5x link using 2' dishes. I'd probably use AF-5xHD radios these days, and I'd use the airFiber dishes (the only difference between them and the RocketDish LW is that they're slant vs H/V). Error! Filename not specified.

Like to keep the bandwidth up but they are not currently asking for more than 100 Mbps.
