Due to windloading restrictions on one of the towers, I am limited to using the 23 dBi panel built into the TrangoLINK-45. I also would like to avoid the cost and hassle of external antennas if possible. Patrick Shoemaker President, Vector Data Systems LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED] office: (301) 358

Oh yeah, one hop is 6.5 miles so 5.3/5.4 is out unfortunately. The other is 0.5 miles so I will probably run that in 5.3. There are a lot of weather radar towers around here that junk up 5.4. Patrick Shoemaker President, Vector Data Systems LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED] office: (301) 358-1690 x36

I bought an HF-6080 last year when I first started my company. Basically, it was useless for me. I first noticed that it didn't seem to be showing noise that it should have been seeing, according to the spec-an built into a Canopy SM. I ended up testing it with a calibrated RF signal generator
