RE: [BAWUG] Two Different Antennas for 1 AP?

[Jared Valentine]

If you use 2 different antennas on one AP, those antennas should have the same coverage patterns.  The reason for using 2 antennas is for diversity - NOT for different coverage areas.  For more information on diversity, see link:   http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/DiversityAntenna   Jared Valentine [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Lars Holmstr�m Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 11:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [BAWUG] Two Different Antennas for 1 AP? Ok, so how will the AP know which antenna to use for transmission ? AFAIK there ar no such code in the Linksys APs. /Lars ----- Original Message ----- From: D F To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 3:15 PM Subject: [BAWUG] Two Different Antennas for 1 AP? Is it possible to connect two different types of antennas, one omni and one directional, to one AP?  I have a Linksys with two RP-TNC connector in the back.  I want to use the omni to cover the immediate area the AP is located and then run a 50-60ft LMR-400 cable to point the directional toward another area.  Will the different in antenna gain and cable loss screw up the transmission?  Thanks in advance   - Diane Do you Yahoo!?
