Connecting to Bellingham (Lookout)
Hi all: I am new to this group and I tried to browse the previous threads to see if this was covered and did not see anything so if I missed it sorry. I have purchased the recommended Mikrotik radio and 30db dish, programmed it and I do see the HamWan channels in the Scan list. Yes I have the international version. I am shown in the HamWan coverage area according to the coverage map and I can in fact see Lookout Mtn from where I am at 120M elevation here in Maple Ridge BC. Used to connect to the 900 Mhz repeater there with a handheld on low power from here. Don't think the QTH is the problem. Took the dish and laptop up to do a ballpark test before permanent install but I am getting no signals on the HamWan channels. When I switch to Wifi I get dozens and dozens so it is working. Rotated dish 90 degrees just in case I had the polarity wrong, still nothing. Is Lookout still broadcasting North on 5920? Suggestions please, Scott VA7SL
