At this point, in most any circumstance I’d recommend going with a dual pol client. It’s backwards compatible with single pol sites, but allows for extra speed when connecting to a newer dual pol site. We’ve got a few setups listed at http://hamwan.org/Standards/Component%20Engineering/Client%20Hardware.html <http://hamwan.org/Standards/Component%20Engineering/Client%20Hardware.html> Tom has had good luck with the mANT30 and RB912 combo.

That's really the question. It doesn't matter. If there is a reason to get dual polarity, that would be fine.

Are you looking for single or dual pol?

I am pretty sure the 5SHPn radio is still available on Amazon, but the Poynting dish was getting tough to find at a decent price. (I found a couple for $200)
There are other 5Ghz dishes available, but most are now designed for the dual-polarity radios.

The dishes mentioned on the home page no longer appear to be available and I'm not sure if the radio mentioned is the best choice at this point.
It only takes about $200 of equipment to connect—that's less than a typical 2 meter mobile setup! Our coverage map is based on the following radio and antenna combination:
Poynting 5.9 GHz 30 dBi grid <http://www.titanwirelessonline.com/Poynting-5-8GHz-31dBi-Grid-p/at-30gr-58.htm> or 2 ft solid dish <http://www.titanwirelessonline.com/ARC-4-9-5-8GHz-30db-DualPOL-Dish-p/at-da5830sd1-arc.htm> antenna Mikrotik RouterBOARD Metal 5SHPn wifi radio <http://www.balticnetworks.com/routerboard-metal-5shpn.html>Suggestions?
Thanks,
