        We've had flying cars for a long time, but we call them
        helicopters.  You could make it thing powered by ducted jets
        and it'll just look cooler and burn way more fuel.  The
        bigger problem isn't building a flying car, it's that the
        driver needs to be a licensed pilot and file flight plans.

            I'd hope we go onsite. Id pay slot more for cnheat if it
            did the installs too. Like shoots a rocket from cambium

                I had a customer once with a windbreak of whatever
                those really tall skinny trees are, not the
                evergreens, some kind or poplar or something that
                grows 5-10 feet per in height per year.  The trees
                had grown to be taller than the house, and they took
                2 of them out with a chainsaw. Everything was fine
                when the wind was from the north, but with a strong
                wind from the south, the link would completely drop. 
                She wouldn’t believe me the trees were bending in the
                wind, until I had a tech climb up on the second story
                roof and plug a little amplified speaker into the
                tone alignment port of the Cambium SM.  You could
                watch the trees sway back and forth and listen to the
                tone rise and fall, and drop out when the wind blew
                hard enough.

                that would be a discussion to have with them.

                LOS is the gold standard, and finding a 5x5 patch
                with it in 30 seconds is amazing. We are 99.9% on
                pulling the trigger

                    basically looking for LOS, and if you asked it to

                    Thanks. I'm watching an old webinar where only
                    5GHz and 3.5 GHz was supported.  900 was on the
