Yes. I have one also and there is no comparison to the Aaronia, et al garbage. I wouldn't even think of trying to get it up a tower though...

Re: [WISPA] spectrum analysis - 5dBm interference at 5785
You can pick up an older Tektroniks 492p off ebay for around $1000. A couple hundred for a new calibration and you've got a spectrum analyzer that works from 50kHz to 21 GHz...and they are military rated meaning they are tough as nails. Just make sure you've got a good winch to get it up the tower...they weigh about 50 lbs. I love mine.

Re: [WISPA] spectrum analysis - 5dBm interference at 5785
I'll second that. I have used the various 2.4 G versions for a few years. They now have an sma connector for external antenna. The only drawback is they have to be plugged into a USB port. Witht the right directional antenna it may be possible to find the direction the offending signal arrives from. You might be better with a little lossy antenna though. If you have that strong a signal in the nearfield, the signal will appear to be coming from everything metal. I still suspect something at the site, based only on the signal level you reported. When you do your audit, turn everything off -- read, turn one thing on -- read, turn another thing on --read.

Re: [WISPA] spectrum analysis - 5dBm interference at 5785
I would suspect something on the same tower. Do you keep an online inventory of all your ap's/backhauls at all of your sites, and what frequencies they use? Review that before going out. I like the spectrum analyzer in the alvarion VL radios. Tells what OFDM and non-OFDM stuff it picks up and separates the data. We also have an HP (now agilent) 8569b 10mhz-22ghz analyzer which still sells on ebay for what I paid for it 8 or more years ago. It's great to hook an antenna up to, scan around, looking at the screen to see it peak, change polarities, etc... Newer more expensive ones have lcd displays, are lighter, hook up to computer, etc... Use a low gain antenna (20db or less) at 5ghz though, as the small antenna beamwidth makes it easy to miss things.

Did that - don't have the results here with me, but there was quite a poor noise floor around the middle of the band - just like the osbridge reported. Not nearly as severe though.

Re: [WISPA] spectrum analysis - 5dBm interference at 5785
Quite likely you're right. I tried shutting off the trango AP's with no luck - same bad spectrum analysis. I'm next going to go on site and do linktests on the AP's with the backhaul off. My suspicion is the backhaul is bad - at least the spectrum analysis, but it is potentially the source of interference as well.

That reminds me of George Carlin. Weathermen on television talk about "shower activity". Sounds more important than "showers." I even heard one guy on CNN talk about a "rain event".

Re: [WISPA] spectrum analysis - 5dBm interference at 5785
Randy, You cant go by that spectrum analyzer. Something is wrong. Most receivers can't handle 5dbm pumped into them without killing them. -B- Randy Cosby writes: > Over the weekend we started getting complaints about a bad linktests for > all customers on an old trango AP site.

Re: [WISPA] spectrum analysis - 5dBm interference at 5785
Trango APs have a site survey tool, however, it requires a reboot and you a) have to catch it within 30s of bootup or b) set default opmode to OFF. I advise the first option - this way you never run into an issue with power failures for 5 minutes bringing your customers down until you click "on".

Re: [WISPA] spectrum analysis - 5dBm interference at 5785
The Trango AP should have a built in test as well that will show noise on all channels. We have had to replace 5830 AP's in the past with this issue, usually after a weather event. Ed Spoon CSS Sent from my BlackBerry Smartphone provided by Alltel -Original Message- From: Randy Cosby Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 08:58:27 To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] spectrum analysis - 5dBm interference at 5785 Over the weekend we started getting complaints about a bad linktests for all customers on an old trango AP site. I've tried finding a cleaner channel, but am not having much luck getting good linktests up there. This is one of the first sites I built, and use a couple OSBridge 5Gxi radios to backhaul. I found they added a spectrum analyzer to a newer firmware version, so I installed it and ran a analysis of the site. It shows a 5dBm signal at 5785! Not -5, but 5. See attached. It appears that something VERY hot is either pointed at my AP site, or something up there has started interfering. Spectrum analysis from the near side of the link was relatively clean.

Re: [WISPA] spectrum analysis - 5dBm interference at 5785
I would definitely start with equipment on site. That has to be an anomaly or something very close to the sense antenna acting up. With free space path loss, any signal arriving from afar and measured at 5 dBm would be killing every bird and bee in the path. You might be overloading the PA. It could be static damaged. Turn the power to its lowest setting and see if you still see that signal.

Re: [WISPA] spectrum analysis - 5dBm interference at 5785
I can say that with two MT swivel antennas blank range (touching each other) they report 0dbm - not positive values...

On same tower That's really hot I'd also do sanity check on your anylizer to ensure you are seeing what you think you are seeing Teoradios on desk usually don't get reading like that and if it were real you ap wouldn't work at all Scott Carullo Brevard Wireless (321) 205-1100 x102 On Oct 12, 2009, at 10:58 AM, Randy Cosby wrote: > Over the weekend we started getting complaints about a bad linktests > for > all customers on an old trango AP site.
