Forgot to mention. We are getting good signal for about .5 miles with a ABI and we have heavy trees, but we can go 1.5 to 2 miles away with a ABT and get jack crap!!! whats even scarrier, is that we can be sitting in a street with a ABI and be getting 25% - 40% RSSI, but when we plug in a ABT, we can't get anything!!!
Any other suggestions?
