Re: [Ubnt_users] AF5x radio on dishes

Adair have 3 foot clear  fresnel (20 feet middle) and still the AF5X wont work and the 100km AF5 and 5Us wont either so I am at a loss 40 towers and back hauls these just will not function so am not very confident in spending more on AF11x at this point. just scared lol On 10/21/2017 6:1

Re: [Ubnt_users] AF5x radio on dishes

We have about 40 af5x links and all of them perform as they should. You have two small of antennas for a shot that long. Need at least 3' antennas and good fresnel clearance. With proper alignment and tuning, they will kick just about any backhauls ass. On Oct 21, 2017 5:27 PM, "Mitch" wrote:

Re: [Ubnt_users] AF5x radio on dishes

I am kinda nervous to spend more on the AF line even for the AF11x After three types of AF have failed and costs so far are over 6000.00 in dishes R5C, AFx, AF units, and AF unit shipping to return replacements that failed (2) with in a few days ??? Kinda tired of spending and not working

Re: [Ubnt_users] AF5x radio on dishes

Had a 12 mile AF5 link that was very marginal because of distance, plus it was a bitch to align. Replaced with AF11FX on 35dB dishes and it works like a champ. Dropped them right into the AF5 mount and they linked right up and only need a tweak in alignment. I'm guessing about a 5-7 mile link is

We aligned them no side lobe here used alignment scope and borrowed a laser aligner from a Verizon friend just to make sure Loved that laser one but 12,000 is a little more than I can spend right now LOL On 10/21/2017 4:07 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: I had a 2 and 3 foot dish working with Rocke

I had a 2 and 3 foot dish working with Rockets for years. Tried swapping to af5x and couldn't even associate! After so much hassle back and forth etc we discovered the dishes were misaligned. Rockets did 60 megs where af5x wouldn't associate. Af5x works a LOT better aligned than Rockets side lo

Thermal ducting would be the signal changing. Wind cancels any thermal ducting. After running a WISP for 13 years, I started getting thermal ducting on a link this year. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP - Original Mes
