I'm not sure what's going wrong, but I can verify that S3.ETiger is running and has 5 clients connected to it.  I suspect you might be aiming at the towers on west tiger (47.508761°, -121.984954°) and (47.504856°, -121.971615°) whereas the HamWAN site is on east tiger (47.488172°, -121.946733°).  From your picture, you should see a 3rd tower or cluster of towers further towards the right, if that is the case.  Google Earth is a good tool to get a sense of the visuals, since it lets you tilt the world.

New install on Squak Mountain Issaquah and unable to find any signal on Tiger Mountain. I’m 3.5 miles away west and a little north of the tower on Tiger.

Clear line of sight. Please validate with the tower picture attached.

Installed the following: 

MikroTik mANT30 PA parabolic dish antenna 5GHz 30dBi MTAD-5G-30D3-PA

Mikrotik BaseBox 5 RB912UAG-5HPnD-OUT 5GHz Outdoor Wireless AP Gigabit USB OSL4

Questions:

Q1) Is the antenna tower on the right in the picture the right site?

Q2) Is the dish assembled correctly? See picture.

Q3) I was watching the signal strength on the routerboard while running "/interface wireless scan 0”. Nothing showed up on the terminal session and no signal strength LED’s lit up. I moved it left to right and adjusted azimuth each time I stopped.

Q4) How long should you wait to acquire the signal between each time you move it?

Q5) Is there anything like the signal strength tones aiming a DirecTV dish?

Q6) Any other ideas. My exported configuration is below and I’ve successfully completed every step listed here: https://hamwan.org/Standards/Network%20Engineering/Client%20Node%20Configuration.html 

Thanks for your help!
