looks to me like the antenna gain is at 0db, since it's saying it's limiting it

So it looks like Foster went to Amobee which is in a totally different business:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/craiglfoster
http://www.amobee.com/

Personally, if I were a UBNT stockholder (which I am not), I would like to see 
them split off some of the businesses for better focus and to maximize return 
in each area.  The enterprise stuff like UniFi and mFi really should be 
separate from the Broadband products.  And they have wisely kept AirFiber 
separate, I could see that being sold off to some European, Asian or Israeli 
microwave behemoth.  And maybe they should ditch Edgemax and just buy Netonix.  
And UWN makes no sense.

Of course Google could buy the whole company from petty cash.

What channel are you running on? It will let you set it to full power, but
it should limit it(and display what it's actually doing on the main screen)
to whatever is appropriate for your antennas and the band you're using.

 I have the db of the antennas entered and it was set to 54 db but it auto
 sets the gain based on antenna size.  Everything is set correctly, unless
 there is some 'trick' to it.  I was under the impression that these things

14db off can't be right at -57.  Lights are inconsequential for me.
Anyway, UBNT support has contacted me about possibilities for improving the
link.  We're looking at it now (not that it needs much improvement).  How
is that for customer support?  They reached out to me.

I have another AF5X installed also.  The signal levels on that one were
horrible.  I got looking at the path and realized that I actually have a
LOS issue on that link that has cropped up, and it is shooting through the
treetops.  It is still doing 179Mbps but has some definite issues.  I need
to move the backhaul on that site halfway up the tower to resolve that LOS
issue.  For now it is still kicking the crap out of the AC link I had in
there before.

 Pretty sure the radar detection was coming from itself because it

 would then get the detections. So don't know what that was about.

Hi, 


The sensitivity of the DFS receiver increases as the antenna gain decreases. 
The lowest gain DFS is certified for is a 23 dBi antenna gain. Setting an 
antenna gain lower than 23 dBi may result in unwanted DFS detections. 


As an observation, I will say I am a bit surprised at all of the folks talking 
about sub 23 dBi antennas. When we released the AF5/AF5U 10X full duplex 
radios, there was some discussion suggesting that was that our antenna gain was 
too low (23 dBi). Now that we have an external antenna radio, is surprises me 
how many people want to go lower when using a higher gain antenna (narrower 
beam) should physically tune out more external interference. 


Food for thought, 


Chuck

It was talked about that you absolutely need to set your antenna gain exactly 
for DFS to work. I think they also mentioned that you couldn't use DFS freqs 
for both polarities without getting detections. So I believe one freq would 
have to be non-DFS and one DFS. Did I catch that correctly? Anyone? Or was it 
just that both polarities couldn't be the same DFS freq?

The UBNT boots are just pretty addons. THe connector itself is IP67 compliant 
and no weatherproofing is needed at all. Not sure why people keep thinking they 
need to put all this crap on every connector, or if they do need to, why their

While it the connector itself may be IP67 complaint, I have seen several crimp 
jobs of the cable onto the connector where there were gaps that would allow 
water to penetrate down into the connector. If this particular GPS cable 
suffers from a poor crimp, the cup formed by the boot will cause premature

My link is only 2000 feet.  19dbi antenna give me -60 and I can see it
bounce up and down 1db.  I'm not certain there's ATPC but it certainly
looks that way.

 I'm getting 45db eirp with 30dbi dishes, which should be the correct max
 for 5.2ghz. maybe it's only screwed up with smaller antennas.

That would makes sense, I don't remember hearing anything about ATPC on

Re: [AFMUG] loving these AF5X's so far!

2015-04-18 Thread Jeremy
It was talked about that you absolutely need to set your antenna gain
exactly for DFS to work.  I think they also mentioned that you couldn't use
DFS freqs for both polarities without getting detections.  So I believe one
freq would have to be non-DFS and one DFS.  Did I catch that correctly?
Anyone?  Or was it just that both polarities couldn't be the same DFS freq?

2015-04-18 Thread Darin Steffl
I'm also quite confused on some people using low gain antennas for this. At
a minimum, people should be using 25 db dish antennas. We plan on using
minimum 30 db dishes on these links to improve link budget and block noise
with the narrower beam. Why all of a sudden 2-3 people are using panel
antennas is beyond me. We don't have one panel antenna in our network and
not sure why we'd ever start either.

Dishes all the way!
