Yes and no
MTI Omnis don't cost that much more and have 2 extra dB of gain -- and
remember, in 900 MHz, each extra dB of gain equates to approximately 1'
worth of additional antenna at the subscriber =)
Maybe I'm missing something -- but w/ LICENSED Dragonwave 50 Mb radios as
low as $8-9k / link, unless you're going to shoot 15+ miles (which isn't
really possible w/ the amount of spectrum utilized) why would you even
bother messing around w/ such a high-priced unlicensed radio?
