What happened to the 19dB panel?
I'm sooo confused.
OK, as to THIS post.
Don't use rg anything at these frequencies.
lmr is much better.
Second, if you are not OVER the trees, don't
expect to get any range. Try to get up another 80'. Got a water
tower or tall building around?
Get a real antenna on the client side. No
omni antennas unless your application HAS to be mobile. And then you'll
still need to amp it unless you only need very short ranges.
From the looks of this post, I'd say you are
doing very well for you situation.
That help?

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.
