Hi,
I currently have node Vabond (#14015) connected to Pluto and while this works , the connection isn’t great. RX is excellent (-52), but TX is poor (-77 to -80) and I think this is because I do not have proper line of sight with Pluto as per WiND.
Initially I thought Pluto will be the best to connect to because of the scan test I did ( which unfortunately only reports RX 
).
So where can I connect to for better signal? Equipment : Dynadish on a long mast (± 6M)
is there no way to move the pole to get around the obstacle interfering with your tx?
I have lengthened the mast from 3 meters to about 6 meters, and after aligning it again I saw that the close by tree is not in the way and that it might be objects further away.
I have not adjusted the vertical alignment on the 6m mast , on the 3m one it doesn’t make much difference so I can look into that again. And yes could also try and move the mast to the other side of the house to see if that works better.
The WiND message of no LOS was just a bit discouraging … I hope I can proof it wrong (or move the mast and get new positive WiND results)
looks like wind is complaining about a building directly in front of Pluto, however, the wind plotting on pluto is not accurate, i have tried to move it, but it jumped too far, although once i had moved it, your wind results showed success,
try adjusting elevation 1st, you should be aiming over planet fitness and the estate agent with the red signage.
Pluto is quite high and visibility is quite good from the roof, i would be surprised if you didn’t have line of sight.
Hi, Please try scan for Atlas2, and see if it is any better than pluto,

we should have an extra link to MDE by next weekend
Thanks
Thanks Darkwing. I’ve been a bit busy, but I have put up a stronger bracket for my mast. Will try to do a scan this weekend
