Pending a permanent installation, I now have the antenna outside my 2nd story window (pictures pending), hanging from the 2nd story rain gutter (plumbing PVC piping/fittings make excellent mounting fixtures!). This has resulted in about a 6dB increase in signal strength. Questions (from "interface wireless monitor 0"): 1. "Signal-strength" (I take it this is receive signal strength?) typically runs -86dBm to -90dBm; "tx-signal-strength" typically runs about 5dB better, although I have seen them the same. With the same radio at both ends (the other end is the DEM at Paine), I would think they would usually be the same, except for possible reflections, which I would think would be "equal opportunity" in occasionally giving a better value to the receive value, but that never happens. 2. What is "current-distance"? It's showing as "10" or "11". I'm exactly 5 miles from the Paine DEM, so I would have thought that this might be the round-trip distance, except I would have thought that a physical distance would be reported in kilometers (the manufacturer being outside of the USA). Now I do not have to leave the window open ... -- Dean AE7Q
