How much more is it, though, for better radios if you need the better dishes, yet have to buy the Ubiquiti dishes anyway?
AF11 kit with dishes (that you'll just throw away) N to waveguide adapters Good dish vs. Better radio Good dish ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mathew Howard" <mhoward...@gmail.com> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com> Sent: Saturday, May 9, 2020 9:21:00 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] af11x I used Comsearch for the last few we did... the price wasn't much different at the time, but I have no idea if that's still the case. Ken is right about the performance... you basically get he same throughput out of dual pol that higher end radios get on single pol. It only really matters if the area is congested, but if it is, you may need to spend more and get better radios.

So if you’re in a congested area, it might be marginally more difficult to coordinate because you won’t have the option of using single pol if only V or H is available. V is usually preferred because of less rain fade, so sometimes H is still available. Bottom line, might want to do frequency coordination before buying hardware.

But yeah, last I checked, the AF11 is still only in stock anywhere in kit form, so it makes sense to just go with the Ubiquiti dishes (which should be fine for 7 miles anyway), So you'd be at about $3200 for the hardware (2 kits plus two more duplexers to do mimo). If I remember correctly, coordination and licensing was somewhere around $1600 on the last link we did, so you'll probably end up right around $5K total. I haven't ever had any problem finding an open frequency, but that completely depends on the area.

The AF11x "kit" (two radios, two duplexers, two antennas) is $1500, need two more duplexers if doing MIMO - another $500 ish. Then $2K (at the most) for the coordination/licensing fees. If you want better antennas than the UBNT ones in the kit, they'll be over and above. Radiowaves and KP make good ones (they're the same antenna, actually).
