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.
