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.
