Re: [WISPA] SR9 Performance
CW, Did anyone offer their experiences on the SR9's as you asked below?

Re: [WISPA] SR9 Performance
We have not finished testing yet so we are keeping a bit quiet. I do not wish to promote this until I know for sure it is reliable. I can say that initial testing shows much better results than cw is seeing. Of course we do not use omnis and coat hangers but rather PacWireless 9 dB, 11 dB and 13 dB yagis. Our initial test configuration is a 4 port WAR board with 2 SR9 radios in the bottom slots and 2 WLM-54G radios in top slots. We run from 24V solar, so the voltage goes from 21V to 28V depending on state of charge and battery. With our tower locations I can hit the both directions up and down our Valley on both 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz. Wer figure almost everybody should be able to connect with one or both. The preference will be for 2.4 GHz and use 900 MHz for tough jobs. I'll have more information later this week as we begin to connect a few customers and let them beat on it.

Re: [WISPA] SR9 Performance
Thanks for the info, Lonnie. The coathangers came after we couldn't make PacWireless sector panels, omnis or yagis work. Four radios on one WAR4 surprises me. Thought that was too much power consumption. You're using yagis for the base station broadcast? Which one/s? Can anyone point me at documentation for yagi propagation? I'll be real interested to see if you get any penetration at a mile or more. - cw Lonnie Nunweiler wrote: We have not finished testing yet so we are keeping a bit quiet.

Re: [WISPA] SR9 Performance
I've been holding off on the SR9's till I heard more and lonnie has had time to figure out what changes need to be made. Also I'm waiting on pac wireless 900 rootennas to make life easy. Sometimes it's better to wait. George cw wrote: Thanks for the info, Lonnie. The coathangers came after we couldn't make PacWireless sector panels, omnis or yagis work.

Re: [WISPA] SR9 Performance
As I said we are using 9 dB, 11 dB and 13 dB yagis. We are in test mode so we are trying all of them for all locations so that we can find the best combination for the task. I am not at the point yet where I can give advice for which type to use for a certain task. There are still combinations to try as part of our evaluation.

RE: [WISPA] SR9 performance
Someone mentioned that in their testing TX was in a 10 mhz channel and RX was 5 MHZ (or however you set) Either way, it wasn't setting it for the same width baed on what you pick - i.e. it was 5/10 10/10 and 20/10mhz respectively.

RE: [WISPA] SR9 performance
Here is the deal w/ the SR9 The DSP filter can listen on a 20mhz or 10mhz channel (RX), it can TX at 5mhz, 10mhz or 20mhz The newer atheros chipsets can listen on a 5mhz channel, but the chipset doesnt have as good sensitivity as the 5213 chipset Dan Metcalf Wireless Broadband Systems www.wbisp.com 781-566-2053 ext 6201 1-888-wbsystem (888) 927-9783 [EMAIL PROTECTED] support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Smith Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 5:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; WISPA General List Subject: RE: [WISPA] SR9 performance Someone mentioned that in their testing TX was in a 10 mhz channel and RX was 5 MHZ (or however you set) Either way, it wasn't setting it for the same width baed on what you pick - i.e. it was 5/10 10/10 and 20/10mhz respectively.
