Ubiquiti Rocket M5 Airmax
by Steve Greenfield 30 May '23

30 May '23

I am new to this, I heard about this many years ago. Now I found something in a box of stuff I was given that might apply. Is this too old to be of any use? It says it is MiMO. But the date of manufacture is 2013. 5GHz TDMA Base Station. I have two, and two log-periodic antennas. I see I'm right on the edge of the coverage area, in Lacey about 1/4 mile south of Harbor Freight Tools. Steve Greenfield AE7HD WRWU703 CN87oa http://www.ae7hd.com

MikroTik DynaDish 5 available
by Dave Stewart 12 May '23

12 May '23

I have a MikroTik DynaDish 5 that I was able to use to connect to HamWAN years ago. I've since moved and finally got a chance to try again, but my new house is just not in a spot where I can get a connection. So, I'll sell it for the best offer, if anyone is interested! (For reference, these are about $155 new, and I'm not looking to make much money here, just get it to a good home that can use it.) Thanks, Dave K7XST

IP renumbering on Capitol Park sectors
by Doug Kingston 09 May '23

09 May '23

As part of HamWAN plans to migrate to our larger allocation (44.25.x.x), we need to vacate addresses in use in 44.24. On impact of this is sector address pools for S1, S2 and S3 at Capitol Park. I will try to contact current users with static assignments but otherwise, I will be converting this site by this time next weekend unless someone raises a good case why I should delay. The new addresses will be 44.25.240.x and I will pre-assign static addresses for the active (connected) devices with static assignments currently. Thanks, -Doug- HamWAN NetOps

Best WLAN protocol for PtP link
by Rob Martin 09 May '23

09 May '23

Hello, I'm am seeking advice, experience and expertise concerning wlan protocols on a Point-to-Point link. I am establishing a 20MHz-wide PtP link under Part 15 rules. Only two stations are involved. It is NOT Point-to-Multipoint. This link will be encrypted. Based upon some scanning of the likely spectrum to be used, I expect a pretty clean channel. Question: Do I use NV2, the protocol used on all HamWAN APs, or some 802.11 variant? If this topic is too far from general PSDR interest, please respond off-list. Thanks for any help. RobK7QJ

Router
by Doug Kingston 09 May '23

09 May '23

We have an issue with being able to protect our ILO ports and manage the server at Threshold because our router is running on the server. We discussed possible solutions on IRC and the following purchase request would allow us to likely remedy this situation. The Mikrotik CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe is a router implemented on a PCIe board. It would let us tease the functionality apart (partially) and let us manage and protect the server better. We will use the following components to do this, as we are not allowed to add more kit to the rack. https://www.streakwave.com/mikrotik-ccr2004-1g-2xs-pcie-cloud-core-router-2… https://www.streakwave.com/mikrotik-s-rj10-sfp-rj45-10gbps-copper-module These are currently out of stock at Streakwave and Baltic, so I will need to look around for alternative suppliers. Total price is likely to be around $300 with shipping and tax. We are seeking board approval. -Doug-
