Oh wait. That's the 15db
grid. Must have been testing close in shots
that
day...
How about this
one.
It's changed a little
since then. The blue omni you see behind
the 19db grid is a CB
antenna. The LMR240 cable from the 19db
grid goes in the back
window to the ABO that is tucked behind one
of the jump seats. It and
the laptop are powered with an inverter.
Now I've moved the 19db
to an actual DSS style mount on the light
bar mounted on the back
of the canopy. It sits in the middle of the
bar with a ladder on
either side of it. I'll try and get an updated picture
tomorrow.
Hey, I have had better luck with a ABI
double-sided foam taped to the top of my car than anything else!

Take a picture, I want to see that!
Going to do some testing tommorrow. Got
me a 20 foot pole and a tripod to test with. Drop a omni or maybe
just tape that awsome ABI to the top of it! hehehe

Acutally, we got a 1.25 mile link today
with a 19db grid. Just have to get out far enough. I think
maybe the prob is that we are trying to grab too close to our tower,
under .25 miles. And cause of that, it has to go though solid
trees to get there.

Just checking. I was thinking of the WISP24013 and WISP24019
which lets you choose orientation depending on which way you attach
the mounting bracket to the antenna.
The only way I know how to mount it on a
vertical pole with the Vertical arrow pointing up.!

Just a thought (I'm still catching up with the list). Are you
sure that your maxrad 14dB antenna is mounted for vertical polarity?
I think you can mount those both ways.
thats not always the answer you should
be getting at least 2-3 miles with NO amp I had mine at H pol and at
2.5 miles was able to get 600 up and down easy further out the
upload went down some as well. What polarity is the ant I am
assuming V pol since you are using the mobile omni I would seriously
do a site survey to see what's in the area causing possible
interference. Then if thats the case I would go the pac wireless 360
H Pol omni or two of the 13 db 95* h pol sectors on two separate
radios.

Amp it!!
Scott
No prob: )
I have one APPO currently, it has a
2 inch N Ginder changer then plugs into the N connector on the 8
inch pigtal off a MaxRAD WISP 14db 90degree antenna. No
AMP just the APPO direclty to the antenna. It is currently
about 80 feet up with the sourrounding trees at 50-60 feet
up. The area is heavy trees, but we are above them.
I can get good coverage anywhere within .25 miles with just a
ABI. I get better singal when I use a ABO with 12 feet of
RG5 (whatever comes with the mag mount from pac wireless)
connected to a 7db mobile antenna. I can get about .75
miles out with just the ABI in one spot on the road. Other
than at, I hav'ent got much else. I have tried from a hill
with a good line of sight to the APPO. I have a ABT,
that just sux so far!
Any other suggestions?

1st off you need to give us
details one how you have the APPO set up on a tower on a hill
on a house, does it have an omni if so what type what polarity
etc. Did you do a site survey in that area to see if there is
interference especially if you are vertical polarity! if there
is which I suspect then I would suggest going H polarity.
Until we know your layout we can offer much more.

I have been having a hard time
getting signal. Most of my customers are around 40%
RSSI with Airbridge Indoors and are working well so
far. But, all these locations are within a mile of my
Tower. I have a VERY hard time getting anything over a
mile!
Anyone wish to give me some
pointers? I have been using a AirBridge Outdoor plus a 7db
omni mag mount from Pac Wireless and a 19db grid from Pac to
test for signal. But it really stinks when I don't
even know if my signal from the tower is getting to
me.. The only thing I have is SimpleMonitor, which
takes some time to assoicate sometimes.
