Paper clips protruding 1/4” out of the N connector works well too.  Bend them 
45 degree slants opposite from each other.

I have an 11 GHz bench set that goes in a 19" rack. I can hang a radio on 
either side and it lines up with a waveguide that converts to coax, has a 
variety of attentuators I can add or remove and then goes back to waveguide on 
the other side.

with a dumpster and put them there. Ive had zero issues with any of the

Re: [AFMUG] Alignment tips for AF11Fx

[Mathew Howard]

The link we have up and running is on 4.1.0-beta1 (which is what it's been
on for months).

I don't remember exactly what short cp is supposed to do, but I have it off
on ours. I think it's supposed to be able to get slightly better capacity
in some cases, or something like that, but our link seemed to work better
with it off.

Re: [AFMUG] Alignment tips for AF11Fx

[Bill Prince]

In all fairness, they were no different than any other 11GHz radios 
we've dealt with once we figured out to turn off all the "auto" stuff.


It sounds like you may have a hardware problem with one of them. That 
would make alignment an impossible task.


You have access to a spare or anything?

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Alignment tips for AF11Fx

Nothing at all on the other side, or just weak? If it's not showing anything at 
all, it must not actually be linking, in which case it could be something 
configured wrong... like maybe a type in the key, or one of the frequencies is 
entered wrong. 

If all the config matches, the first thing I'd check would be the duplexor...

Double checked configuration, double checked duplexorsgoing make sure
all antennas are level and plumb myself but don't know what else to try.
Might change master slave settings since only master transmits and try to
realign again this morning.  I am frustrated because it was easier to align
a 23 mile link than these.   Using 10mhz channels to align...maybe should
use the FCC assigned ones and see what happens frustrated in Artesia...

The units have a 2.4ghz Wi-Fi convection for configuring and aiming.
You’ll probably want to turn it off when you are done.

no. just turns off ATPC. A smart phone VPN'd in to the network or RDP'd

Good for both of you! I've been on towers when the wind gets too high, 
and it is more dangerous than you tend to think. Everything, and I mean 
everything, gets more difficult.

Ok...I will do that when we go back...winds will be up to 20mph all
week...at 25 they get us off the roof and my Comtrain certified assistant

Be sure to turn off all of the "auto" setting. So, automatic power backoff
and receive target power. align just like any other link. the actual and
ideal signals will tell you if you have done enough. we usually beat the
ideal by a little bit depending on the antennas.

We found that all of the "automatic power adjustment" stuff had to be 
turned off completely before we could get accurate signal levels. Once 
we did that, they aligned like almost any other 11GHz equipment.


We have two links using the AF11x, both about 10 miles (MOL), one in a 
very quiet environment, and it is at full modulation most of the time. 
The other has one end in a relatively noisy environment, and it gets to 
full modulation some times, but not quite.

I have not read the manual on these...I did notice an alignment tool 
in menu.  How does it work? It the optimal alignment having both ends 
at same or really close dB levels? the LEDs all came up on link that 
linked up but one side was -39 and other -91dBm...so I am not sure 
that it good wayideas? Thanks
