We also had problems with jirous 2 foot dishes not having very good signal no matter how hard we aimed a 3.8 mile link. No problems with 4 foot jirous or ubnt 35db dishes. I have not tried 3 foot for jirous yet though. On Mon, Mar 26, 2018, 1:59 PM Mathew Howard wrote: >

We noticed the Jirous 2' antenna is not that good and will be further off than the UBNT dishes. the Jirous 3' and 4' dishes seem to be much better. On Mon, Mar 26, 2018 at 2:47 PM, Mathew Howard wrote: > Ah yeah, that makes sense... I forget about the duplexer. Not that it

Ah yeah, that makes sense... I forget about the duplexer. Not that it really changes anything anyway with these, it'll just throw the signal calculations off a bit. For licensing purposes, I figure you're generally better off erring on the side of higher output power. The AF11 link we have up

Matt, leave your gain at 35 dB and set cable loss to 1db. After that, aim to what the ideal signal shown in the gui. You're at least 6db away from a perfect link still so I'd look into that if I were you. We have links at 6 to 7 miles with better signal than you have at 2.6 miles. Using same

It's actually not excessive. If you read the manual it says the duplexer is = to 1db loss and you're going to have at least that in the jumpers as well. I however always set the cable loss to zero and do the math for my max EIRP or 18dbm. It's just easier when looking at it to know that there

Does UBNT say to use 2db cable loss? that seems a little excessive to me... But yeah, I'd say alignment is either a bit off or you have some obstructions... you should have better signal than that, at that distance. From: ubnt_users-boun...@wispa.org

Why is that? They are 35dB antennas. 17 + 35 - 2 = 50, which is right where we are. On 3/26/18 1:17 PM, Adair Winter wrote: > And it looks like you either have antenna gain set wrong or need to work > on the alignment, Matt. > > On Mon, Mar 26, 2018, 12:01 PM Mathew Howard

I guess I missed the original e-mail. What power level and signal are we questioning here? On 3/26/18 12:58 PM, Mathew Howard wrote: > Yeah, but you have a much stronger link - you're at -48 with 17dbm Tx Power. > > > From: ubnt_users-boun...@wispa.org
