Fantastic guys, sorry I’m not that knowledgeable when it comes to the specs of the wireless equipment. I like the groove and grid solution since it is pretty effortless and minimal mess. I started out using RB433
This is even less of a mess

Plug a lan cable in and off you go. The RB is built into the feed of the dish, meaning no cables or RB’s visible except for the Cat5e of coarse.
This is even less of a mess

And for a few bucks extra you can add this http://www.scoopdistribution.co.za/product_info.php/powerbeam-radome-p-1654
And the end product of combining these 2 items are dam sexy and clean!
Wow that is sexy:) haha
What is Wind Loading? Drag from passing wind?

Lol, I got thrown off since we use the app called wind XD #hindsight

Proud to Announce that Megalodon will now be known as “Pandora” to fit in with CTWUG naming convention. 
Let’s hope that in the future someone will make their node name box and link to Pandora ![]()
Do you think I’ll be able to pick up Pandora, given the way it is facing, from my location #13701?
Got some equipment at my parents house, will have to go find it. Would like to do a scan second weekend from now.
RE: What happened to Kraakbal site? wan’t aware that they had moved.
Getting new kit for the site on Wednesday if everything goes smoothly and should be installed by the weekend. You should be able to pickup 1 of the 2 sectors, best bet would be to do a test scan first.
Please remember in order to be able to connect to the sectors , you will need Dual Polarity equipments. So you wont be able to use a grid and a groove unfortunately.( you can do the test scan with this though)
What JP said,
You should also rename your node to BOX ![]()

First off a BIG thank you to the committee for making all of these links possible.
I am sure that A LOT of people will benefit from this.
Me and Wacko will be working closely with the Durbanville members to help plan the future for the area.
#The Pandora to Morne04 Link has been upgraded to 2 x 25DBi Powerbeams (This is syncing at 300mbps/300mbps with 98% CCQ)
#A new 10KM link from Pandora to Ironman has been made using a netbox and the new Ubiquity 30Dbi Lightweight dishes. ( This is syncing at 120mbps/120mbps with 97% to 100% CCQ) signal is at -51/-52
Thank you to Ironman for his great job at tuning the link!
A second 90Deg sector was installed to service more clients - This is has coverage from Sol1 to Morne04 roughly and anything in between.
The 120Deg sector was moved to service everyone facing the Durbanville Golf Course.
Lastly Thank you to Wacko141 and Diabolix with all the help installing the kit!
