Carry it all with you on the roof. Small battery, small wireless travel router, use a smartphone to check signal level. I made an adapter to use my 18v cordless drill batteries. One possible issue is if you use 2.4ghz CPE and your portable router is on same freq, you can't do a reliable speed

Brian, Buy a Tranzeo TR-CPQ 19 and then all you have to do is lock onto the correct AP before going up. It's a lot easier to plug the POE in at the truck and drag up a 100' or so of CAT5 cable and just watch the lights on the CPE. Every light has a minimum db signal level associated with. Mac
