You still using WRAP boards I got some for sale mounted in some nice NEMA 4 enclosures, 6ghz arrestors, the whole works.

I had never put a WRAP board before, and I mistook which was radio 1 and radio 2. Anyway, I managed to hook the 2.4 ghz AP to the 5 ghz dish and the 5 ghz radio to the 2.4 sector... Well, we had no trouble at all hooking up to the AP while standing at the building. Or, anywhere around it. But, the 5 ghz backhaul would NOT hook up. The AP could not be seen at 1.2 miles, even with a 16 db antenna. I fought with that thing for 2 days, on and off. It was incredibly hot and going up there in the middle of the wheat field was unbearable, so I worked at it at night. Anyway, I started work on it near sunset, checked everything out again, clear down to changing all the radios and pigtails, and giving up, I went to the other end of the backhaul, nine miles away. I did some fiddling with the AP while I was there then giving up and deciding to snoop around instead, I then decided to survey using the utility for the PC card. Suddenly, the SSID for the other AP showed, and I connected, using a 14 db panel. Even through that 5 ghz grid, I had a pretty decent signal at 2.4 at 9 miles. It was about 3:30 AM. I drove to the other site, switched the antenna cables, and VIOLA! I had a fully functional net access site :) I was so jazzed, I drove around checking coverage for another hour, and then got home in time for breakfast. I was happy to tell the partner I had fixed it. It was terribly ego-bruising to admit how stupid of a mistake it was and how I had simply not caught on for 2 days.... Needless to say, I suddenly decided to wise up and check things out and be sure of assumptions I make from then on...
