I admit that most of you can dance around me in the field of RF. I'm more of an installer and management type. Today I had a Nano CPE with a -48 dbi signal which, as you know, is amazing; it should be it was a block away from the tower. The problem is the customer had long outages and erratic service. Aiming away from the tower kept the great connection but still crappy pings. Marlon suggested Multipath as a possibility and advised to turn the radio to "B" only and reduce the power on the radio. I had heard of Multipath but never experienced it. We changed both settings and while the signal stayed at -48dbi the time-outs and erratic pings went away. 90% of our system is two or more miles from towers, so we never had this problem before. This particular town is the only place where the towers are on buildings all within ½ mile of nearly everyone
It answered a lot of problems for others in town we have been battling supposed interference with and I just wanted to publically thank Marlon for exposing me to a side of RF I hadn't even thought of.
