How big are the yagis?

Ok,
I'll have to admit when I first got my Trango 900 I was a bit disapointed.
It was not a fault of Trango, it was just my expectations of how much
foilage could be penetrated. They have been solid radios, just lower
throughput and not as penetratable as what I was hoping for.
on the other other hand my RF Linx 2.4g to 900MHz UDC's made me a happy
camper. I've had a link that is about 1 mile that is almost all trees
and tree tops in the way. 5 megs across this link. 3 years running. Of
course this is yagi to yagi PtP shot, which helps quite abit. I bought
some 900 Yagi's to use, but only have one in service.
Guess it will be interesting to see what we can do with these new cards.

I have almost no clue. We've had little time to play with them and I
have no frame of reference. We've never used 900MHz before. The
throughput is full 802.11 at links in the high eighties. There doesn't
appear to be much foliage penetration as close as a mile. At an eighth
mile, we can get a solid neg 82 through solid jungle with wide beam
antennas. We're going to have to find narrower beam antennas that
don't weigh four hundred pounds before we can figure out much more.
900 roos are coming out soon but I have no idea how tight the
broadcast is. I've also seen five foot yagis that might penetrate
mountains. - cw

When you say limited success, can you give examples?
I'm about to buy some and would like to know what kinds of issues pop
up.
Currently I'm using Trango 900 and RF Linx 900 UDC's and know the
limitations of those radios, wondering how they compare to SR9's
penetration wise.

I didn't know a WRAP board would power a 700mW radio. We've had
limited success with SR9s on WAR boards using 66 and 180 degree
sector panels from Superpass. Does anyone know of any narrower
beamwidth sector panels that don't weigh fifty pound or measure five
feet in at least one direction? - cw

Whoa, bad assumption Rick. We would never be waiting for anything
from Tranzeo.
I was saying we are awaiting our first batch of SR9 for evaluation and
our own network, but that many of our customers have already tested
SR9's with our software, and they report excellent results with both
the WAR board and the new V3 code for WRAP boards.
The Tranzeo should talk with an SR9 since they both use an Atheros
base. The only trouble will be the driver and that I can't speak to.
