  1. Hey, sorry we missed this. For the gradient coverage on the link calculator, make sure you selected PTMP mode. And it can take a minute or two for it to shade depending on range and other factors. Attached are two quick calcs I did estimating the AP location, probably needs some tweaking. I mapped out the far end of 10x in the middle and then on the far sides near the edges and that ends up being roughly 3 miles in the center and 1.7 miles right on the edges. The coverage looks gnarly with the terrain, so I ran another one with the same height cpe as ap just to take that out of the equation in the other file. Keep in mind the edges roll off pretty quick but it's not a direct laser like cut where a few feet over drops signal. I think you are good to keep 7 and 8 but play around in the calc a bit more and see what it says. At these distances and AP heights, leave 0 downtilt. It's a wider elevation cut by far than what you're used to working with on sectors, so the signal gets to the ground real fast. I played around with some downtilt values and your far reaches of 10x start dropping pretty quick after more than a couple of degrees. So stick with 0. Most of the time you end up with 0 unless the AP is on a mountain and you're shooting down into valley or your nearest subs are right on the base of the tower. I used LTU Rocket as a client with 26dbi from LR gain as it's a RX estimate so I doesn't matter a ton. Also only the LTU RF specs are out there and no more info is shared so we can't populate the details per CPE like we can with other brands. RXL should be right on with the AP power set as is in the pic, and mod rate should be close. Hopefully that clears things up. If not then email me direct caleb [at} rfelements.com and can explain further.
  2. Hey there, We have recently tested and updated the datasheets for the symmetrical 30 degree horn (HG3-TP-S30), UltraHorn, and UltraDishes so they will officially support up to 6775Mhz now. We did this so people getting test kits now can test with horns and long distance clients with the dishes or PTP without waiting for a new generation of antennas to come. We are working on new models that will support the full 6Ghz band that will be ready around the time the AFC is theoretically ready. Will announce more details as that time approaches, but for now expect similar to current offerings but tuned to that band specifically. If you'd like to have a call then please reach out to me at caleb@rfelements.com and we can set something up to discuss in further detail, see what testing you want to do, etc. Thanks! Caleb
