We will be installing higher gain antennas on Friday which should help things but I wanted to see if anyone here has done this and has experience they can share.

Here are the links to the products used. I have 2 of each item to complete the bridge setup.

I've done a bunch of these. I'm assuming you were smart
enough to buy an amplifier before attempting more than a mile,
so try tilting the antenna about 5 degress virtically up from
where you think it "should be". It's likely that your not adjusting
properly for the fresnel.


(if you didn't buy an amp, check out www.ydi.com for really
good and inexpensive ones...)
