-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I sprung for a Senao card and temporarily hooked it up to a ratty little 2db omni that was ripped off of an Aironet PCI card. Coverage was fantastic! I had a range of a good couple blocks.
Then, my (expensive, for me, anyway) 12db omni and pigtail arrived. I decided to blow off the hacky antenna and use "the real thing". And.... my coverage got incredibly lousy! Very strong when right underneath the thing, but exponentially worse with distance. I thought that perhaps I was just seeing antenna pattern problems, and maybe I was in a dead spot in the pattern. Nope, I wandered around, and didn't find any "lobes". Anyway, I hooked up the ratty little 2db omni into the other connector, so BOTH antennas are now going and... everything seems OK so far. But this bothers me. What is going on? Or, more specifically, how can I begin troubleshooting what is going on? Do I need much more equipment or training to troubleshoot this one? - -ken - -- - --------------- The world's most affordable web hosting. http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+3AWce8HF+6xeOIcRAiHSAKCUYs6tRGOSgnhutpMIHgsYFdTTmACg/Uu0 hcjP0Ah4uG9bqvimF/VVBYM= =rkf+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
