Yeah, I still can imagine why there are some wips still homebrewing gear that ends up more expensive that wisp-engineered products on the market like canopy, trango ect...
We were in a same spot with some 11b gear deployed in some areas... last august we decided to just cough up some cash and change all those subs (100+) to Canopy.... best money spent, never looked back ....

We did homebrew for quite a while and it has its downside as we're seeing. Just my opinion. You get a nice spectrum analyzer built-in, 2 minute setup, 2 minute test once its placed. Audible signal strength - no pc needed on the ladder. There are lots of solutions. 5.2 / 5.7 ghz Moto stuff runs thousands of subscribers. I'm not affliated with Moto/Canopy and don't ask me to sell you anything. Best wishes. Mark Nash wrote: > Thanks Rick.. I've heard alot about these WRAP boards.
