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.
