I use the LinkAlign-360EER that is made by Nextmove Technologies. It makes setup a breeze, which takes less than a minute to link to any visible site. When I bought it, the manufacturer didn't have out-of-the-box compatibility with MikroTik in order to utilize the peak/seek feature. However, after doing some research, we were able to make it work via SNMP once I identified the RSSI value OID. Since then, they have supposedly added MikroTik as an option in their latest firmware. I didn't realize it until just now, but they have an older picture of it on their website. However, they have it mislabeled as the LinkAlign-360RPT-10 when it is actually the EER model. You can see it here titled as "Mobile Command Center": http://nextmovetech.com/applications/. Kyle On Sun, Aug 12, 2018 at 7:48 AM Rob Salsgiver <rob@nr3o.com> wrote:

Kyle, What are you using for a pointer? Asking for a friend 😎🙄

Cheers, Rob

Good to know. I guess I will take the Westin coordinates out of the pointer then. Capitol Park was my next guess beings it would have been somewhat in-line. But, when I pointed it to that site, it definitely couldn't hear it.

Based on that log, we were obviously communication with Paine. Is it possible we could have been picking up a reflection of the signal from Paine somehow (bouncing off a building, etc)? The pointer is GPS enabled, so it should have been quite accurate with its heading; especially after I re-ran the calibration. It has always been dead-on in the past, so that's why I question the reflection idea. I tested it a few days prior at another location, which connected to Paine with great accuracy.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks, Tom. I'll keep that in mind for the next go-around. Here is the MAC we were using during the test: 4C:5E:0C:31:C4:43

It was acting like we were making a connection to the Westin, based on the coordinates that were dialed in. I really wasn't expecting anything from that direction. However, it would be cool to verify if it truly was the Westin that we were passing traffic through. The best RSSI we saw was right around 75.

There are no HamWAN sectors installed at the Westin, so you would not have been able to accidentally connect to it.

Here's what I found for that MAC in the log. Looks like you were able to connect to SnoDEM-S1.
