Hi All, I tried my first one of these yesterday. It's hooked to an antenna that was already in place so I know the old system worked though I did not check signal levels before taking out the old SB radios (they don't give rssi accurately anyway so there was no point).
This new radio has an RSSI of -78 or so coming FROM the tower. AT the tower we're picking up -88 or so. I turned it up to 20dB out (factory was set at 16) and that did help a bit. The calculations show that I should be in the -74 to -78 range based on the exact distance of the link. So my RSSI AT the remote end is right in there. I should be seeing the same at the tower as well. Anyone seen these units have faulty transmitters? This is the third ubiquity I've tried. Two PowerStations died (receive sensitivity went dead) after several months. Both units at almost the exact same time. This not giving me any comfort levels at all.... I know others out there are using a lot of these, are you seeing ANY strange issues at all? Have you looked at the RSSI from both ends? Does it match?
