Alright, I'm glad I asked. I've been averaging -72dB as-is. I'll make the switch over to the other connector and see how that goes. Thank you! Kyle On Sun, Feb 22, 2015 at 2:52 PM, Tom Hayward <tom@tomh.us> wrote:

One question to you, what polarization should I be using? I assumed it is vertical, which is how I currently have my 2 foot ARC dish antenna hooked up.
The sectors at the Paine / Snohomish County DEM site are horizontally polarized. At Haystack, they're both horizontal and vertical (MIMO). With the ARC dish, I think you want the connector on the side of the feedhorn, not the one coming out the bottom. You stand to gain 20 dB if you're currently using vertical polarization :-)
