Wait till you get a couple people doing netflix or hulu, 3 sectors instead of 2 isn't a huge investment, and you'll have a lot more choices for antenna vendors. On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 03:54:38PM -0500, Mark McElvy wrote: I have one of my towers that has grown to 32 subs, This is a MT ap and

Hey Mark. My experience on the Pac 120* H-Pol sectors is that you will come very close to 360* with just two of them. I would stay away from 180's. I think it was the good man Marlin that sent me some info about those a few years back when I considered this and I decided on the 120's. Worked

As an RF Engineer and an antenna designer, I can say that you don't want 180's. Go with the 120's or even some 90's. You'll get pretty good coverage all the way around even with a couple of 90's back to back. If you are really worried about the small nulls on the sides, make sure your main

Yeah, and the new Deliberant radios will do 1/2 and 1/4 channels. I have had good luck with a mix of them. The new ones with the Atheros chip set seem to be more sensitive too. mike At 05:05 PM 10/27/2009, you wrote: There is no magic number. I have had MT based APs that with the customer

I'd recommend against 180* antennas. They are really just lopsided omni's. Go with three 120* antennas. Mix vpol and hpol. You'll be glad you went this route over the long haul. marlon - Original Message - From: Mark McElvy mmce...@accubak.com To: WISPA General List
