I think the r52hn is ideal for a cheap CPE radio. Cheap and works well. It does N, too, but that's besides this discussion. Just not quite up there in terms of a ptp link. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 3:

Actually, in the technical specificationsthe R52HN claims to be better than a XR5. I have not used any R52HN for comparison. RX Sensitivity at 54mbit is -80 with R52HN vs -74 for XR5. Regards, Chuck On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 3:46 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: > My experience shows the complete o

I hear ya. I know a lot of people swear by them. I just know I have tried them 4-5 different times and they never work as well as I think they should. I can pull it out and use a CM9 or R52Hn and get better receive by a couple of db or more. On 2/14/2011 2:46 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: My exp

I have tried those in the past and not had good luck with them. They don't seem to be as sensitive as other cards. I used to use mostly cm9's but have been using the MT R52Hn cards. You get the power and they seem to receive better than the XR5's. LaRoy On 2/14/2011 2:26 PM, Josh Luthman wro

That's the one, but I would DEFINITELY use an XR5 for a ptp link. Voltage/board depends on your particular link. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 3:18 PM, Butch Evans wrote: > On 02/14/2011 01:19 PM, Josh Lu
