I have finally made a reasonable connection to HamWAN using Buck Mtn. I am using a MikroTik mANT30 MTAD-5G-30D3-PA dish and an RB912UAG-5HPnD-OUT radio. The smaller MikroTik dish/radio can't connect reliably. I followed the configuration instructions on the HamWAN Website, and did add the command "/interface wireless set 0 rx-chains=0,1 tx-chains=0,1" which doesn't appear (probably should) in the directions. Pointing was done using "/interface wireless monitor 0" using the fine tuning adjustments of the mount. The best signal obtained was about -71 dB. Let me describe the situation a bit and see if anyone has ideas on how to improve the connection. The radio name is "K7DCJ/Brinnon-Buck", and the system identity is "K7DCJ-Buck". I am line of sight 2.69 miles from the transmitter on Buck at an azimuth of about 115 degrees from true North. The problem is that I am 2 miles away but 3600 feet below it. All the power is going over my head. Consulting the beam patterns of the transmitting antenna, I appear to be in the second side lobes, which is about 15-20 dB down from the maximum power of the main vertical and horizontal lobes. Bandwidth tests produce the following: /tool bandwidth-test 44.25.143.94 duration=30s direction=receive status: running duration: 24s rx-current: 2.9Mbps rx-10-second-average: 3.5Mbps rx-total-average: 2.3Mbps lost-packets: 120 random-data: no direction: receive rx-size: 1500 connection-count: 20 local-cpu-load: 3% remote-cpu-load: 5% /tool bandwidth-test 44.25.143.94 duration=30s direction=transmit status: running duration: 27s tx-current: 2.5Mbps tx-10-second-average: 2.3Mbps tx-total-average: 2.0Mbps random-data: no direction: transmit tx-size: 1500 connection-count: 20 local-cpu-load: 4% remote-cpu-load: 3% The rates have gotten as high as 5 Mbps in other runnings of the tests. Perhaps someone has an idea of how to improve this? 73, Dave K7DCJ
