I noticed the same thing. My MTI radios are speced for the whole 5 GHz band and have more even performance. I'm wondering what sort of performance PacWireless's new antennas have.

Tested on two different towers with 5 clients on each. Same results with both locations. I have used the PacWireless 5.8ghz 2ft dishes at 5.3ghz and only saw a 2db difference (at max)... so I figured because the sectors were spec'd down to 5.4ghz that 5.3ghz wouldn't be a problem... but giving up 5db (only on 1 side of the link too, which is weird) is a lot. :( Travis Microserv Gino Villarini wrote: What radios?
