Jon, For sure I'm all over GPS for all licensed (world of small channels) and when there is a small amount of spectrum to work with in UL. For example, in the coming 3650MHz band, GPS should be a must for PMP. Same with scaled 900 (we offer it there). It is just not needed with VL. What for? It

We started out doing that with satellite installers as well. We just ran them all out of their garbage piles of masts in our area. DISH has implemented a new thing where they don't include the mast unless you request it. Then you end up paying more for the system WITH a mast. We still have a few

Again, Patrick, it's a troubleshooting too. If we have poor link quality but good signal, that's usually interference. If we have poor signal but good quality that can mean a bad antenna, tree in the path, multipath etc. Both are important. Marlon(509) 982-2181 Equipment sales(408)
