Tom,

When I use a mesh dish and the Metal S5HPn, I get signal in only one plane at my test site at the corner of E Collins and Baby Doll Roads.

Perhaps something is up (or down, in this case!).

I'll do some additional testing with the dish later this week/weekend.

Very odd! Based on the received signal strength, it would appear only
one chain is running.

This is the only way I know to choose a single chain.
