Updated Client Hardware Recommendations?
Hi there, For the last couple of days, I've been trying to chase down some client radio hardware as recommended by our club here in Victoria, BC as well as the recommendation at HamWAN.org. It seems that all of the radio products have been discontinued and are therefore out of stock at multiple distributors. Originally I was looking at th e Mikrotik Metal 5SHPn but failing that, I started working through the rest of the list with no joy. Is there an updated list or alternative products that people have been using? I'd rather purchase based on experience vs. a spec sheet, so any advice is appreciated. Thank you, Don MacLeod
Don, I put together this comparison table a few months ago: http://hamwan.org/Standards/Component%20Engineering/Client%20Hardware.html The LHG-5nD and RB911G-5HPnD-QRT (QRT-5) are both good options if you don't need maximum antenna gain. For more gain, an option that isn't listed on that page (though a very similar one from Arc is) is Mikrotik's mANT30 dish. I just picked up one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00MG4U8H8/ Couple that with a BaseBox5: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00GA0DMDQ/ If you give me your location I can give you a better idea of how much antenna gain you'll need.

Hello Don, I’m not sure what specific other hardware you were having a hard time finding. I haven’t seen anything about the 5SHPn being discontinued, and it is available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-RBMetal-5SHPn-Routerboard-OUTDOOR-WIRELESS/d... <https://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-RBMetal-5SHPn-Routerboard-OUTDOOR-WIRELESS/dp/B00ADRZGOK> The normal grid dish we recommend has been getting harder to find, but the ARC dishes should be available via other distributors, like Streakwave. https://www.streakwave.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=ARC-DA5830SD1 <https://www.streakwave.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=ARC-DA5830SD1> If you do go the ARC dish route, since it’s a dual polarity dish, and our newer sites are dual polarity, you may want to consider the RB912 modem instead of the 5SHPn https://www.streakwave.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=RB912UAG5HPnDOT <https://www.streakwave.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=RB912UAG5HPnDOT> which will support dual polarity.

Nigel and Tom, Thanks for the quick responses. Looks like I'll jump on that Amazon deal. Didn't even think to check there, was just looking at distributors off MicroTik's site.

Does anyone have experience with the RB921UAGS-5SHPacD-NM <https://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-RB921UAGS-5SHPacD-NM-NetMetal-integrated-802-11ac/dp/B00N9ZIA5A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477628043&sr=8-1&keywords=RB921UAGS-5SHPacD-NM> modem? I was hoping to ask for configuration advice as I tried to set up a new client node. In particular I am getting an "unsupported channel" error when I tried to enter the 6 hamwan channels. From poking around in the UI it looks like the part it is complaining about is using a 5 or 10 mhz width. (I'm inferring this because the UI is happy enough for me to set a 20mhz width.) If you are curious how I chose that one it is because I saw it mentioned in a previous thread as being proposed to add to Baldi.

You can't use that model for standard HamWAN node access because it only does 20 and 40 MHz channels. You need the RB912UAG-5HPnD-OUT <https://www.amazon.com/Mikrotik-BaseBox-RB912UAG-5HPnD-OUT-Outdoor-Wireless/dp/B00GA0DMDQ/>model that supports 5 and 10 MHz channels. The 921 is an awesome modem often used for backhaul links, but unfortunately incompatible with the standard HamWAN client access model. Since I'm somewhat of a "noob" myself at this, I'm sure one of the seasoned guru's will jump in to correct any misinformation I may have blathered. ;-) This is a page worth studying a bit on client access gear. http://hamwan.org/Standards/Component%20Engineering/Client%20Hardware.html On Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 9:15 PM, Edward Cukiernan <ecukierman@gmail.com> wrote:

It looks like the relevant line I missed was "this requires a Mikrotik 802.11a/n modem (their 802.11ac modems cannot do 5 or 10 MHz channels)" I hope others learn from my lesson and don't assume that just because the modem was used elsewhere in hamwan it would be suitable for a client node.

The HamWAN folks have occasionally purchased the model you have from folks as they sometimes use them for point-to-point links on their backbone. FWIW, I made the exact same error. It was very frustrating.

I may have a couple of the older Modem I'd trade for the newer one. In this case my use is not to access an existing client sector but to build a personal parking lot data ring inspired by PSDR. Better radios would give me a chance to hit my stretch goal of 100 MB/s on at least some of the links. I have to catch up on my inventory and make a plan... Bill, WA7NWP
Thanks for the offer, but I've already ordered the hopefully correct one from amazon. But if it would be useful for HamWan infrastructure I'd be happy to donate it instead of returning it. Thanks, --Eddie On Fri, Oct 28, 2016 at 10:31 AM, Bill Vodall <wa7nwp@gmail.com> wrote:

I have a 5SHPn with the 31dB antenna that I've had for three years on the HamWAN network, just south of Everett, WA. I don't have the best location: During the fall/winter/sprint, my location gets me about -85dB, but in the summer, I lose the connection. So, I wouldn't mind unloading the whole thing for $150. Includes the PVC tubing that it's mounted to. On 2016-10-04 11:00, VA7 KOC wrote:
Hi there,
For the last couple of days, I've been trying to chase down some client radio hardware as recommended by our club here in Victoria, BC as well as the recommendation at HamWAN.org. It seems that all of the radio products have been discontinued and are therefore out of stock at multiple distributors. Originally I was looking at the Mikrotik Metal 5SHPn but failing that, I started working through the rest of the list with no joy.
Is there an updated list or alternative products that people have been using? I'd rather purchase based on experience vs. a spec sheet, so any advice is appreciated.
Thank you,
Don MacLeod
