Manufacturer tilt marks do not correspond with plumb... I verified not a 
problem with 3.65 alpha antennas... 2.3 and 2.5 big problem with the 65 deg t0

So why exactly is it 2* off?

I guess I'll treat this as a lesson learned...my point is,  our mounts are 
level... Why should I not trust what a manufacturer has made... After all they 
know the importance of accuracy in the Rf world.

I hope you never go by the degree markings on an antenna!

Why would you not use the inclinometer to verify the antenna tilt?

Well,  I hope Alpha will be compensating us for every site we need to revisit.  
I AM absolutely Furious!!

Every single one of our sites we use a level or inclometer on a mount for 0 deg 
or compensate... Set the antenna for 3-4 degrees... according to our RNP and 
call it a day.

We have discovered that ALL our ALPHA degree markings are 2 degrees off!

This means my entire network... Which has felt like self interference... Is 
self interference. All the antennas are 1 to 2 degrees tilt!!!

Please see attached photos...

We used a sunsight azimuth and tilt meter to confirm.  We used the sunsight on 
a new site build and discovered the anomaly.

Telrad needs to issue a bulletin and check the T0 3.65 too.

Off we go to rescue our network....
