If you get the Chirp software they are pretty easy, once you have one 
programmed cloning identical radios is a matter of seconds for each radio.

portables that will be more durable. You should be able to get the old wide 
band versions cheap. Likely will need new batteries and maybe antennas but they 
should last. Commercial radio services are all narrow band now so wide band 
only radios are no longer legal in those services. Sometimes you can find a 
nice deal on a set in a gang charger. If you do look at any particular models 
ping me off list and I can let you know which models are good and bad to use. I 
can point you in the right direction for programming and such as well.

They've been around a while, though I've never used anything of theirs.
Kind of hard to take a radio that looks like this

Re: [AFMUG] UBNT Multipoint packet loss

2019-05-06 Thread Josh Luthman 
If the signals and stuff all look good, that's exactly what I bet it is -
one SM screwing everything up.  I've had two of those this year.

Kick all of the customers if you can, and see if they work quickly.  If so,
that confirms it.  Start an ACL list and allow them one by one until they
tank.  I allow one at a time (in 5.6+ish or so it doesn't need to reboot to
add a MAC).  Wait 1 minute and watch the latency on them.  If it stays in
the single digits, keep going.  Once it hits triple digits+ you found your
bad SM.  Block that guy and replace his radio.
