Yes, much better. I also noticed a
problem on the HamWAN side, where that sector was configured
for only 5MHz service instead of our normal 10MHz. I've
changed the sector config, and you should be getting twice
the bandwidth now.
I tried to run a speed test, but noticed your
bandwidth-server was still set to require authentication, so
I've logged into your modem and turned that off:
[eo@K7ITE-Lookout] > /tool bandwidth-server set
authenticate=no
I also noticed you still have an "admin" account. If it's
not properly password protected, this may be dangerous now
that your modem is on the Internet. I have left it
untouched.
I also noticed you have the "winbox" service running. This
is also dangerous, as it's full of exploits. I have left it
untouched, but you should probably disable it. (/ip service
disable winbox) We should update the website instructions
to disable this by default.
I also noticed your ssh is on port 22. This will get more
hacking attempts than port 222. You can change it with /ip
service set ssh port=222.
With the bandwidth-server available on your end, I ran a
speed test from the sector to your modem:
This is the performance you can expect from a 10MHz MIMO
link that has good signal.
The current-distance is reported in km, not miles. It's not
round-trip distance, just physical distance between the
modems. There is a separate metric for round-trip-time,
which is measured in microseconds: tdma-timing-offset=202.
You can do the speed-of-light math to get a more precise
distance than the 1km granularity reported by the
"current-distance" field.
Mo' betta? Is current distance miles in both send
and receive (round trip)?

No, you're missing an entire
chain of the radio (ch1). Do this to enable both
chains:
/interface wireless set 0 rx-chains=0,1
tx-chains=0,1

These are my results, I can do more but for
now, how do they look?
Funny things is that thee are about where I
started. Elevation is the more difficult
adjustment with the brackets provided. I may
end up modifying those.
