I do the same. Install above the overhang and at the highest part of the roof. Remember, the highest part of the roof has the least amount of water running over it. So, less water, and even if it did leak it would drip into the overhang, not living area. Brian RickG wrote: The facia is

If I did not mount on roofs I would not do many installs, most of my installs consist of 3ft tripod with 10ft mast or 30ft mast on roof peak with guy wires. Mark -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Marlon K. Schafer Sent:

Wow that's a lot of extra work per install! How high/far are your APs and what band are you using that needs this extra effort? On 8/30/09, Mark McElvy mmce...@accubak.com wrote: If I did not mount on roofs I would not do many installs, most of my installs consist of 3ft tripod with 10ft mast

I think most of us rural guys are on 2.4GHz for last mile and 5.8GHz for backhaul. Until recently, 900MHz was not cost effective. Brian Rohrbacher wrote: That is a lot of questions but I bet I can answer with one word. Terrain. Brian Josh Luthman wrote: Wow that's a lot of

Trees an terrain. We have 50-60 ft Oak trees very dense. Terrain varies from 1200 ft in town to 1100-1400 all around. Tried some 900 but had trouble getting it to work well. Mark From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Brian Rohrbacher Sent:

What 900MHz is cost effective? Depending on distance, you can use a Ubiquiti Loco for $50. Is there anything even close to that in 900? On Sun, Aug 30, 2009 at 8:02 PM, Blair Davisthe...@wmwisp.net wrote: I think most of us rural guys are on 2.4GHz for last mile and 5.8GHz for backhaul. Until

I've got the same issues here. I used 900MHz on one tower in the hills forest. Used Mirotik but the cost is way too high for most. -RickG On Sun, Aug 30, 2009 at 9:12 PM, Mark McElvymmce...@accubak.com wrote: Trees an terrain. We have 50-60 ft Oak trees very dense. Terrain varies from 1200 ft
