Good info, to build confidence, but, your area is dry climate. Its a different animal here in our East coast D2 rain zone. Anyone with D2 zone or worse, Feedback? We have not seen any multi-path issues with any 18ghz links. Are you mounted on tenant buildings, towers, or hills? Multipath

Tom, Your rainzone affects potential signal loss during a heavy storm... so it takes a bigger dish or more power to compensate for that... just the same as my mountaintop towers that get up to 2 feet of ice build-up on them... we have to plan for 10db of "extra" signal loss during 3-4 months
