In my ongoing saga of troubleshooting an 18ghz link, we think we're
pretty sure the issue we are having now is Noise. From around 7am -
noon or 1pm, the background noise on my Horizontal polarity goes to
about -81. Has anyone had to troubleshoot finding the source of noise
on a licensed channel? Do you just start contacting everyone on the
same channel within a few miles and see if they will disable their
transmitter to see if it goes away?
We have found 2 other licenses which are pointing kind of at us. If I
point my dish (in RX only mode) at one of the transmitters, which is 10
degrees off my path (I am 4 degrees off their path), I hear it at -70
The Other license is for one of the Day Traders. The GPS Coordinates in
the License put it 20 degrees off my path, I know there is no dish where
the GPS Coordinates say. However, if it's where I think it might be (on
a pole on the other end of the building), then it's basically pointing
at me. Although, with it being a Day trader, there's a good chance it
was never installed, or has been decommissioned. Those guys throw
licenses and dishes up and down like yesterdays fashions.
Any Tips for the next step?
