Perhaps that new antenna while stated to be the same isn't all that its cracked up to be I mean I have bought a 15db hyperlink (new model) and replaced an old 15db hyperlink with all the same specs and the new mode one had ultimately better performance.
Maybe it's vice versa my question is... are the clients receiving the service they are buying has it continued to fall? Or is it steady at a current rate oratleast at a current range?

like with wi-fi spray? :)
I betcha you are either getting more reflected signal, or tuning out noise
during rain. at 2.4, water both reflects power and attenuates it.

Hnmmm.
My subs swear it goes faster in the rain.
Something about reflection, or is that refraction?

Rain will not be a factor?? Water attenuates a signal.. that means
absorbs.... You will lose signal in rain.. the question is - is it
noticeable loss?
