Brian,
Buy a Tranzeo TR-CPQ 19 and then all you have to do is lock onto the
correct AP before going up. It's a lot easier to plug the POE in at the
truck and drag up a 100' or so of CAT5 cable and just watch the lights on
the CPE. Every light has a minimum db signal level associated with.

As most of you know, we have a mailing list for every state designed
specifically for WISPs to communicate with each other on a more local basis
to keep up with legislative issues and local opportunities. We really need
someone to step up in each state and try to organize each of these lists and
Hello Gang, and Happy Monday.
I'm wondering what kind of insurance y'all use
for your businesses? Particularly insuring towers
and access points against weather damage, lighting,
wind, etc. or do you self-insure.
What about liability? Installer Accident?
Any advise will be appreciated.
Dave
There is only one person to handle tower
insurance. (Now to open that can o' worms)
http://www.towerinsurance.net/
David Saul. The best.
Tell him I said to call. He can handle most other
insurance needs, but in the tower industry he is the
person to call.

Dave,
It would be a MISTAKE to not check these folks out. I have had insurance
here for years, but I can honestly say that I have never ha a claim so I
can't tell you if they pay or not. LOL

Check to see if you have stray voltage from a good ground to the water
tower itself.
It is actually a very common thing - and can cause equipment to do very very
strange things.

Your idea of using the PDA/AP should work very well. We are in the
process of building such a set of equipment. We don't use Tranzeo, only

As far as signal pattern goes, if he means an omni, then that isn't a really
