With a rootena, at 7 miles, sounds like George is over power limits.
But take note, 5.3G can be within limits to reach 7 miles. You can actually
reach 10 miles (with little fade margin) and be within the limits.
It does however require a 32 db dish, and a -2 power level to be legal.

Remember, at 5.3 gig you are only allowed 1WATT eirp. That's 30 dB. If
you have a 24dB antenna the radio output has to be dropped down to 6dB.
But, that's part of why I love 5.3! Forces people to use good antennas
and low power radios instead of high power radios with junk antennas!
hehehehe

What kind of distance are you seeing with those 5G Rootennas? And what
kind of APs & Antennas are you using? Just curious - we're looking at
moving all new customers to 5Ghz.

Those MTI's are nice looking product. Nice price too. Have you checked
out the pac wireless 5 gig rootennas yet?
They are working great for me and they are cheap.

I was thinking....
Although legal issues involved... (so not indorsing or recommending
this idea)
An Atlas Fox, mounted inside a MTI 24 dbi Dual Pol antenna w/ stock
radio case back, and a custom mod to bypass internal antenna and
jumper to the ext antenna connectors, would be less expensive than
both a base Fox5800 unit and the 5830SU, and give us 16 more
additional DB, which would make it a fantastic combination for a high
end business or residential CPE able to survive the noise, upgradable
to OFDM, and easy to mount. But most importantly, it would only be
one radio CPE type to stock to cover all needs, allowing it to be
easier to make quantity orders.
In qty 25+, MTI w/ case $245 (maybe a little more with import
charges)
Atlas Fox $149.
Pigtail Jumpers: $15 Total: $409.
It would take more time to hack(build), but it would save time by not
having to muck with the dish. So why is Trango not doing this yet?
