I am kinda nervous to spend more on the AF line even for the AF11x
After three types of AF have failed and costs so far are over 6000.00 in
dishes
R5C, AFx, AF units, and AF unit shipping to return replacements that
failed (2)
with in a few days ???
Kinda tired of spending and not working you know?

Had a 12 mile AF5 link that was very marginal because of distance,
plus it was a bitch to align. Replaced with AF11FX on 35dB dishes and
it works like a champ. Dropped them right into the AF5 mount and they
linked right up and only need a tweak in alignment. I'm guessing
about a 5-7 mile link is about max for an AF5 to get 8x modulation.
Also, have an AF5X link at 8 miles with a 34db at the Slave end and a
30dB at the Master end and it to works great.

We aligned them no side lobe here
used alignment scope and borrowed a laser aligner from a
Verizon friend just to make sure
Loved that laser one but 12,000 is a little more than I can spend
right now LOL

I had a 2 and 3 foot dish working with Rockets for years. Tried
swapping to af5x and couldn't even associate!
After so much hassle back and forth etc we discovered the dishes
were misaligned. Rockets did 60 megs where af5x wouldn't associate.
Af5x works a LOT better aligned than Rockets side lobed.

Thank Mike I finally came to the same conclusion .....
atleast for the 19 mile link
Now just got to figure out why the 9 mile link sucks as well

The AF5 only has 23 dBi antenna. There's no way it'll work
well at that distance.
Also, you're comparing 23 dBi antennas to 29 - 31 dBi
antennas. That 12 - 16 dB difference is most of what
you're missing when comparing to the other link.

We have installed a 22.6 mile link in Missouri that works
very well the AF5
tried a AF5U at it never even linked up
This link has been up and running for almost 3 years

The AF5 just isn't meant for distance. Look at the

Yes did discuss no resolve
as well as AF5 and AF5U
Installed AF5X tuned them took them out put in RM5
tuned put AF5X back in changed from 2 to 3 foot dish ....
all this on a 9.2 mile link gave up bought AF5 and
they don't work very well for 9.2 mile link
either getting better performance from the R5C Gen 2s
Have a 19.6 mile link with AF5U that sucks (-76 to
-77) and the
2 foot dishes next to them with R5C Gen 2 out perform
the AFs
hands down RF (-56 to -60) and data
But been told by support it's "Thermal Ducting" 20 dB
difference
units 10 feet from each other on same tower same elevation
