If you are ever in the Bothell or Lynnwood area, I can meet you and you're welcome to borrow my dish for a couple weeks if you want to try it out. I have a MikroTik XL HP5 that I ordered from Streakwave after sending in my FCC paperwork. I've used the dish to connect to Haystack Mountain at a 25 mile distance. It's powered over Ethernet and should work out of the box. Let me know privately if you'd like to do this and I can reconfigure it for your callsign and HamWAN node frequency.

MikroTik is the only equipment that works with PNW HamWan, as a proprietary MikroTik mode is used. Here is a list of know compatible models:

The hams in my area have the LHG-5, and one guy has also successfully used the SXTsq Lite5 within a few miles of the sector node.
We ordered ours from a EU dealer, they dropped-shipped directly from the MikroTik factory to us arriving within 10days. Make sure you spec the non-US model, and if they have it get the US plug version of the AC power adapter.

Hi guys. I have a new qth on Camano island which I am pretty sure is in the footprint. Any thoughts on what or is there a link to suggested equipment?

As spring comes upon us young men start thinking about...portable HamWan ops.
I have a second new dish and radio I've never set up. Can I use the same credentials I have on my residential dish?
If I have success with my full size Micro-Tik as a portable I may be tempted to trade someone for a more portable size.
