Re: [WISPA] Guy Wire Calculator

2014-03-17 Thread Roger Howard
Assuming the tower is vertical and the ground is flat, they are two sides of a triangle and the guy wire is the hypotenuse. So the calculation you are looking for is the pythagoras theorem. A squared, plus B squared = C squared. Here's an explanation... http://www.wikihow.com/Find-the-Length-of-t

When you are saying TI is 'not worth its salt', are you saying the sectors or the TI radios? We have a couple dozen TI sectors using non-TI radios with great results.

That would be enough for me to consider using some - lower tower lease fees. I would like to see one that is 2.4 dual slant, 3.65 dual slant, and 5 standard dual polarity H/V. All with a 90 or 120 degree sector pattern. 14 to 18 dbi gain range. I would definitely try that one out! Allen Poole

It would be nice to see an antenna that did 2 x 90 MIMO 2.4GHz and 2 x 90 MIMO 5GHz antennas, effectively a 180 sector that has 2 sectors of 2.4GHz and 5GHz in it. I would pay 2-4x the normal antenna price because it will reduce my tower rent. I would also help test. It might also be nice to hav
