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

Re: [AFMUG] PTP650, PTP550, NLOS

I'm definitely not expecting Cambium to go through a forest in 5 GHz... but they specifically claim NLOS capability. I have several NLOS 5 GHz links going through leaves at very short ranges that are relatively stable (all ePMP). I'm just curious about what makes them claim their NLOS is better.

I've definitely done some stupid things with PTP 5ghz. With in a few hundred foot I may or may not have a few micro-pops humming along with NLOS shots. It's definitely not a predictable layout though, you just have to test it. On Wed, Apr 25, 2018 at 3:52 PM, Steve Jones

No ptp650 magic sauce like you may be expecting. It performs exactly as ptp3/500 did in regard to that. Like anything you can get "nLOS" but you pay for it with capacity/reliability turning dual payload off gets you "sauce" at the expense of half your capacity, and IIRC theres another setting

Orthogon-based PTP650/670 have something like 256/512 subcarriers which helps NLOS. I think AF5X has 1 and AF5XHD has 8 subcarriers? On Wed, Apr 25, 2018 at 3:10 PM, Christopher Gray < cg...@graytechsoftware.com> wrote: > I've been told the PTP650 (and 670) have some sort of magic that helps >

I've been told the PTP650 (and 670) have some sort of magic that helps with NLOS links. I've always assume this was a result of the custom chipset. Do these radios actually perform better than others in similar signal NLOS environments? The PTP550 is based on a WiFi chipset... does it have any of

Hey guys just wanted to share a fun project I finished up yesterday. I volunteer with ARES RACES in my county here in AZ. Fire season is here and we are already under a burn ban. My last build was a bit bulky so I wanted to trim down the size a bit. The main purpose of the build is a crossband

That's a good point. If you can get that accurate on the elevation, it should be easy to find the main lobe. On Wed, Apr 25, 2018 at 9:53 AM, wrote: > Nice thing is that you can get elevation to a tent of a degree or better > on the cheap. Accurate azimuth is the hard one. >

Re: [AFMUG] SunSight MW15

Nice thing is that you can get elevation to a tent of a degree or better on the cheap. Accurate azimuth is the hard one. So of you had a tenth of a degree on elevation and “close enough” on azimuth you could always find the main lobe. From: Mathew Howard Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2018

Re: [AFMUG] SunSight MW15

Yeah, 1 degree would certainly be useful. We recently put up a couple of 80ghz links, that have something like a 0.4 degree main lobe... the hard part is getting close enough to be sure you're not in a side lobe - once you get there, it's easy enough to aim with signal levels, and 1 degree is
